I had this happen to me yesterday! <BR/><BR/>The lady kept telling me she had sent MoneyGrams before, and I kept telling her that I understand that, and her information is already in the system (Oh so it MUST be true, imagine that...) I kept getting an error code saying that the account number was an invalid length for that company. She kept retorting with, "I just called them and that's what they gave me." We went rounds on this for almost ten minutes. I finally got her to understand that I cannot just make the payment POST to this magical account number she gave me, and even if I could it would do nothing for HER account. She finally called again, and d'oh, she forgot the FIRST number.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-34025628944869541112007-06-24T14:02:00.000-04:002007-06-24T14:02:00.000-04:00I worked customer service for Wally World, and I f...I worked customer service for Wally World, and I found out once from Moneygram that you can send the person's payment to any of those GMAC recieve codes---it's all really the same place, just different locations. As long as you have the right account number, the payment will go through. Same goes for all other Moneygram bill payments..........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-6537391657918397792007-06-24T08:59:00.000-04:002007-06-24T08:59:00.000-04:00I am just really puzzled about the "none of your b...I am just really puzzled about the "none of your buisiness" remark. I used to do collections and we asked people why they did not pay. They would come with the "It's personal" excuse. My stock reply.<BR/>"Well, ma'am. It IS my buisiness. You are not paying me my money as agreed in the contract you signed. Now I want to help you and come to an agreement but if you are not being honest with me I am going to have to take further steps. And you are not going to like that."<BR/>it is like talking to children sometimes. I once had a huge shouting competition with some guy who did not pay his bills because he hired a caravan for a 3 week vacation. And he was screaming at me where I got the nerve to tell him that he should not have done that. Well it is my money you are spending there. PAY YOUR BILLS.<BR/>Ugh, people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082956716199422635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-48615945679881349842007-06-24T00:55:00.000-04:002007-06-24T00:55:00.000-04:00I just filled up yesterday and that costs $70!

She should have said "$100 is all I can send! I just filled up yesterday and that costs $70! What do you want me to do, walk!?" That would have been priceless.DolfanDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082471172265500477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-14218485796553530802007-06-23T23:04:00.000-04:002007-06-23T23:04:00.000-04:00Nothing like not being able to make your payment o...Nothing like not being able to make your payment on your gas guzzling pickem up truck.Herbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778090152799165490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-77383247380627470662007-06-23T22:29:00.000-04:002007-06-23T22:29:00.000-04:00How utterly frustrating that must have been.
