       If you initiated a money transfer in the United States with
       Western Union between January 1, 2001 and January 3, 2013 and
       your money transfer was not redeemed within 60 days, you may be
       eligible to receive payment from a class action settlement.
       All complete and approved claims received before the October 11,
       2016 postmark deadline. Payments will begin to be mailed in
       February 2017. Please give payment adequate time (at least two
       weeks) before inquiring about not receiving a check. See FAQ #18
       This settlement involved a lawsuit over whether Western Union
       Financial Services, Inc. and The Western Union Company
       (collectively, “Western Union”) timely notified its customers of
       unredeemed Western Union Transactions in the United States using
       Western Union’s money transfer services. Western Union denies it
       did anything wrong. The settlement provides for refunds to
       Western Union customers and releases Western Union from
       liability.
       If you received a notice in the mail, Western Union’s records
       indicate that you may have initiated a money transfer between
       January 1, 2001 and January 3, 2013, which was not redeemed
       within 60 days, and that you may be entitled to a refund under
       the settlement.
       The settlement established a Class Settlement Fund, of
       approximately $145 million, and offers reimbursements of the
       unredeemed funds and interest earned on those funds to eligible
       Class members. Additionally, the settlement established
       procedures to assist certain Class members in recovering money
       that may have “escheated” to their respective states. In the
       future, Western Union will notify their customers of covered
       Western Union services if their money transfers have not been
       redeemed within 60 days.
       The Court has approved the settlement. Claim forms began to be
       mailed out to class members in March 2016. Your legal rights are
       affected whether or not you act. Please read the materials on
       this website, including the notice carefully, as they describe
       how this class action settlement may affect your rights and
       options.
