Xoom Acct Closed ????

They offer what appears to be a great service, very reasonably priced money transfers. I lucked out, they closed my acct before they transferred money. I was trying to send funds to a friend in the Philippines for Christmas. They put a stop on my acct because they said the funds were being used for sexual activities or gambling. From what I have read on this board, its probably the best thing they could have done for me. Their customer service line is absolutely useless with reps speaking what seems to be very heavy Jamaican accented English. They will always transfer you to the "correct department", but the "correct department" never picks up the phone. BEFORE EVEN THINKING OF USING THIS "SERVICE". READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS HERE and then USE WESTERN UNION!

I've heard that customer service is one of the most important aspects a company should focus on in order to ensure the best customer experience. ATMCash is a money transfer service that boasts the best customer support team. They ensure that during business hours, you will never talk to a machine and you will get prompt service every time you call in or chat with a live representative. If you're tired of bad customer service and would like to have a better experience when sending money online, www.atmcash.com [protected] is the best choice for you. Please note: office hours are Mondy - Friday 8 - 6:30 PST.

Xoom Customer Service

I complained about the repetitive confirmation of account for sending money and how they are supposed to make the money available in minutes, but due to the constant verification procedure the money never arrives in minutes, if lucky hours. So after complaining and letting them know that I would write to management regarding the issues, they canceled my account. After trying a number of times requesting a supervisor and all kinds of excuses not to put one on or placing you in hold for limitless time, I finally spoke with a Teresa and basically she told me that it was part of the agreement and to bad, she finally released the money after I supplied a number of documents (had it been a person with no access to the internet, a scanner, email and time, it would have taken days to get the money released) . Then I try to log-in and find that a Ray Almanza had canceled my account.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, ALL THEY ARE DOING IS HOLDING YOUR MONEY AS LONG AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE MORE MONEY

Xoom - cancelled transactions

i've used xoom.com in the pass wiring money to my husband in another country being they were cheaper than western union and moneygram, i never had a problem recently i took a trip to that same country but my bank gave me a $500 withdrawal limit on my card per day and it was too expensive to use an ATM machine so i logged into my account and send my husband...

Xoom terminated account

XOOM.COM is a joke! Having been a customer with them since 2005, they decided to close my account. With no explanation, per their service agreement, they can do that without notice or explanation. They questioned the recipient of the remittances -- MY FIANCE! I said I've been doing this for years and now you question it? They said they randomly do this to accounts. Then they asked questions about who the person is and can I provide receipts that my fiance was real. I said she probably doesn't keep receipts. Also, the obvious fact, I had this account for years and she obviously has been approved by me, right? So the Xoom rep kept going on about it's part of their policy to do this randomly. I said fine, just tell me how to reactivate my account. Once again he asked me to provide receipts of her home (i.e., utility bill, etc.). T'hen he said he would send me an email detailing what they want. I said I'll check my email when I can. Once I checked my email, I was floored to get the following message: Your Xoom account has been disabled.

Pursuant to the User Agreement, Xoom may, at any time and in its sole discretion, refuse any Transaction, and reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

I think this company should be investigated by the Feds. That's the stupidest so-called policy if I ever read one. Now I have to see if MoneyGram or locate another service. I won't use Western Union cause of their crazy sky high fees! Be aware and stay away from Xoom!

I wanted to change me email address from my work to my personal one, The person in Customer service said that i cant change them because my personal email, was associated with another xoom account, which was probably me several years ago, but not one transaction was done using it. she said that i would have to transfer all the banking information I had to another account. Set up a new email address and use that. I work in IT and I know what is required to change from one email to another, I also understand the security issues too, but they said there systems doesn't allow them to delete old accounts or change emails on existing accounts.
My old email address was set up in xoom in 2010, ( 4 years ago) they have told me that they keep all dormant accounts and that each person is only allowed to have one xoom account. Despite me saying i only have 1 active account, that I have had with them for the past 4 years, associated with my work email address they cannot delete my old one. My advise for anyone is DONT USE XOOM WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON USING IT FOR LIFE. other wise you will have to set up new banking information to each person you intend to send money too, each time you change your email. to put a very simple solution to this problem JUST DONT USE XOOM, find another provider

Their customer service representatives don't have a clue about their job. Xoom is the most incompetent and worthless company to send money; I will rather use western union or even bank wire, more expensive but more serious, companies like xoom really need to be out of the business

Samething happened to me. I initialed transfer on march 30th, they took money out of my bank account on 31st, and did not deposite money until may 7th. I called so many times, and was told that they have to communicate with their partners in India. I asked to cancel the transaction and was told that it will take another 7 business days to put money back in my account? They took no responsibily for the mistake or the delay.

I want my money now! Why have you still not supplied the name of your south african agent and contact details as i have requested twice already? Why have you not responded in 2 hours as you promise to do on your website? Where is my money? How am i expected to prepare for my christmas dinner without it and my last minute shopping. I am so frustrated and angry. I have reported you to the california state attorneys office as i promised to do if you did not have my money by today. Your excuse that our central bank has issues with these kinds of deposits should have been grounds for you not to accept my business in the first place. What rubbish. I expect a response immediately. Failing which i will have my us bank recover the money from you.

Few months back, Xoom was service which i transferred money from Sri Lanka to Viet Nam for my mom who is living there. And this is good service and really easily, quickly for my mom to get cash from me.

This time, she is needing some more money, but i can't send her, because Xoom's customer service said: they closed this service in Viet Nam, Why is that?

How can i transfer money to my mom quickly?

"Note: We don't have global transaction from Sri Lanka"

A while back I was using xoom.com, but one day they closed my account stating they felt my reasons for wiring money were in violation of their terms. I was bewildered not knowing what I had done wrong and xoom.com would not say. All I did was send MY money, not xoom.com's, to friends and family and in small amounts of less than $200. Apparently xoom.com feels they have the right to regulate or pass moral judgement on how I send MY money! What the f..? What kind of weird business are they? I never had this problem with any of the other money transfer services. Xoom.com sent me a response saying they have to abide by their policies. So, rather than admit their policies anger and drive away customers xoom.com just defends their idiocy. I never told xoom.com my reasons for sending MY money so how do they determine if I have violated their policies? Besides that they were making fees off me. It seems they are so friken rich they don't need customers. It seems their policy really is if they piss off lots of customers, they have other suckers coming in..until they piss off those customers too. If anyone out there reads this review I highly advise against using xoom.com. They are getting LOTS of negative reviews in the online review sites.

A friend and I have been using Xoom for him to send money to me... it's been a week, and we've had two prior transaction dne perfectly and on time.

But this third one, is killing me... Xoom's whole system is at a shut-down. But before that they still allowed my friend to send the money. Yes. Xoom takes about 30minutes to confirm and make a transaction available for pick-up... but then... it's been 24 hours. since the website has been down the whole day.

If they scheduled a shut-down then they should've not allowed my friend to transact... and they should have emailed all it's members...

Obviously they're only securing that they get paid but not securing that services be rendered.

INFO:

1.My friend succesfully sent the money and even received the trans.code.
2. I recevied via email confirmation from XOOM website that the money has bee sent to me with the code
3. The money is still not ready for pick-up and the transaction status cannot be checked since the XOOM.COM mothersite is down... has been down the whole ###ing day... it's like they just packed up and left with my money...
----> all i need is an email saying that my money is ready for pick-up... or at least when it will be ready... not false promises...

Xoom Lies on 15 minute transfer

I have the need of sending money to Mexico due to an emergency, so I use the service xoom.com, they claim to deliver the money in 15 minutes, so I did it, the story is as follow:
March 4th, 2011.- I use xoom.com to send $200.00 U.S. dlls. to Mexico for only $4.95
March 5th, 2011.- My family called me telling me there was no money sent to them yet
March 7th, 2011.- I checked up in xoom.com under my account and they just live a message saying that it will take 5 to 7 business days to clear the money from my bank
March 8th, 2011.- I called xoom customer care, they just apologize for the inconvenience and claim it will take 3 to 5 business days to clear the transaction on my bank (it seems to be this the number of days they say to all their customers). I tried to cancel the transaction but they said it will take 30 to 60 days to get the refund of my money!
BOTTOM LINE IS NOT TO USE THIS SERVICE ANYMORE IS MY ADVICE, TRY TO EXPLORE SOME OTHER OPTIONS, Western Union is very expensive, but at least it has worked ok in the past to me.

A Xoom customer access my Xoom account information and took $500.00 without my consent from my Bank of america account. Xoom said it was my fault. I complained to Bank of America, who dropped Xoom immediately. They will not deal with Xoom anymore.

Xoom Idiotic Business Practices

I have used xoom.com several times to transfer money to South Africa. Last week I wanted to send $434 to a vendor, xoom.com cancelled the transaction. Later that day I sent $500 to my SA bank account and it went through. xoom.com gave some generic BS as to why it was cancelled, when pushed they ignored my request for an explanation as to why they cancelled one transaction in the morning but let a larger oner through in the evening. Today I wanted to send $734 to my attorneys, who I have to before, it was cancelled. I then sent $750 to company and it has gone through! I have been on hold for 2hr 37mins trying to get through toe their Customer Service. They have no idea what they are doing.

I was sent money from the US to pay for our bills, when I got to BDO they told me that XOOM is offline. I waited from 9AM and still their service is down, I am nearing disconnection because of their crappy service. A year ago, they declined my $25 transfer and didn't credit it back to me.

Xoom did the same thing to me. After using xoom for few years to send money to the philippines. this year they started cancelling every transaction and finally disabled the account due to xoom policy?

"We would like to inform you that your Xoom account was closed by our compliance team. It was disabled for violations of the Xoom User Agreement. This decision cannot be appealed, and our customer service team will not be able to discuss the matter with you beyond restating the above."

So they never explained why they disabled it.

Xoom account disabled

Hi... I also had my xoom account disabled. I did nothing to violate their terms of service. I am trying to do something about it. I went to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in San Francisco, which is where xoom is located, and filed a complaint. I did this online. http://goldengate.bbb.org/ I am get a response from the BBB and thought if more of us did this, them at least we can get an answer and maybe our accounts enabled. If you didnt do anything to violate their terms of service, then I think it would be helpful if other did the same thing.

Dear Thomas,

This decision cannot be appealed, and our customer service team is unable to discuss the matter with you. The decision is based on Xoom’s proprietary compliance and anti-fraud policies and procedures, which are mandated by the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act, and other applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

Accordingly, no additional information will be provided.

Xoom - Cancelled my Account

This terrible company provides high fees to send money abroad same as Western Union. I used their service despite their outrageous fees, then one day they decided to close my account without explanation. I email them. No response. Then I called their "customer service" number. Of course I was connected with someone in India who wouldn't give me any...

Xoom Awful service

I transferred the money on 4th of april

to India. Usually I had not seen problem

but this time, my money has not reached

yet.

Complaints

----------

1) I discover that, if eveything goes

smooth, you will like xoom.com but

now that my money has not transferred yet, they did not even respond back that

they were not able to deposit into my

account.

2) Their customer support, especially

during the US time are terrible to say

the least, they have the least amount

of courtesy, ill informed and try to

talk to cover their problem.

3) It has taken them 12 days to determine the cause of the issue and on

my demand, takes them 15 more days to

deposit my money back to my original bank.

4)Through this entire torture, I came to

know that they have some cheap, local

partnership in other countries who cannot deposit to NRE(NRI account) and

the money will be rejected.

5) The customer service representive in

the US are so bad, I never ever want to

speak to them.

6) Lastly, if you ever decide to go with

these people, beware, if you get into

this type of problem, they will never

cover your cost, whatever you may incur

due to delay in deposit of funds.

NEVER EVER USE XOOM.COM. WEBSITE IS A SCAM. YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITH ALTERNATIVES...PLEASE READ THEIR SHADY USER AGREEMENT AND PRIVACY POLICY AND REVIEWS BEFORE DOING ANY TRANSACTION WITH THEM. THEY CAPTURE ALL YOUR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE INFORMATION INCLUDING WHAT SITES YOUR HAVE VISITED PRIOR TO XOOM.COM, CAPTURE YOUR IP ADDRESS. THERE IS NO WAY FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY NEED AND WHY THEY NEED IT. I recently opened an account with them looking at an Indian Super Star as brand ambassador. I did my first transaction and it went on hold asking for an Govt. ID and Bank Statement. I provided and I called to follow up. Verification Rep. said that its not enough and he needs a copy of my passport . I asked why but he said he cannot reveal that information. I gave a copy of my passport. I got an email saying that i'm missing some doc and they need copy of my US Visa, Voided Bank Check, Screen Shot of my Bank Account with no reason provided as to why the document provided before were not enough. What is that they really are looking for. Customer Servie, Verification, and their compliance team is very rude. I don't understand why Amitabh Bachchan will accept being their brand ambassador. Also, they dont cancel your account. You dont see a cancellation email but if requested a cancellation and try to login, it says your account is locked. Why it is locked and not deleted? NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS THEY ARE RUNNING. Also, they are very interested in knowing whats your relationship to the person you sending money. To me, it looked like they were trying to colon me:-) STAY AWAY:-)

Just want to warn potential clients to avoid XOOM Money transfer service. They choked off my financial lifeline at the worst possible time. They actually cancelled a transaction after sending me an email saying, available for pickup, without even the courtesy of any notification. I really believe the company must be run by ###s. I was a very good customer of theirs and they were making money big-time off of my transfers. Their low transfer fee is deceiving - unreliable is all I can say. The saying, you get what you pay for, applies here. Western Union is expensive, but at least they care about their customers. Stay clear of XOOM if you value your time and actually getting your money.

Xoom Extremely bad service

Never deal with Xoom.com, I had this experience and they are sick.

I had to send money to India and I started the transaction on April 4th, 2010. It was supposed to reach India by 7th april 2010 but when I checked on April 10th, the money was still not transferred.

Now I learn how inefficient they are, apparently they have their partners who are incapable of transferring money and xoom was giving me some reason or the other. Today is 15th April and I am still waiting for them to put my money back.

When I called them numerous time, what I noticed is the customer rep. during US time is extremely arrogant, careless and does not seem to care for customers. I will never want to talk to any of them or deal
with them anymore. Today, that guys said it takes another 10 business days(15 more days) to put my money back to my account.
During this entire torture, I have lost more money in expenses.

I strongly suggest everyone not to go with this service.

I was thinking on using xoom to send money to Colombia, now I think I will not. I don't think I can afford to waste any money or time trying to resolve any problems through the phone. it is very easy for them to hide and not care. I will keep using my bank. It is a bit expensive but at least I know the money gets there in a safe way. Thanks to everyone that posted the complains.
Good luck.

Xoom deciet

DO NOT use XOOM. I've used for 3 years and they have screwed me time and again and without warning or explanation. Holding funds for 10 days after they take from your bank. They just increased their minimum to $50. Recently I did an emergency transfer for my sister in law in the hospital and they held the funds for 7 days and she almost died without the treatment.
When I finally got a hold of someone on the phone they refused to talk saying they can not disclose any information.
DO NOT trust XOOM. They have gotten too greedy and there advertising is false.
