western union class action suit - 23/09/2003 01:10
Anyone else receive a letter from US District Court NY?
I received a couple, I’m in New Zealand.
About the Western Union Money Transfer Litigation, something about them receiving a more favourable exchange rate converting US dollars to foreign currency & foreign currency to US dollars than they provided to their customers. The suit alleges that these misrepresentations or non-disclosures occurred in their advertisements and at the time of each international money order.
I used thier services to transfer money to US twice in the last year.
The short of it is that there is a settlement and this will be provided by way of coupons which may be applied towards the transfer fee of any Western Union money order. An estimated max total to be at least $47.5 million. Each coupon in US is worth $4.00 and $3.25 internationally.
So I'll get two NZ$3.25 coupons yay! :P
