Western Union question

[Spunky]

Why would the person recieving the money need anything other then the test question? Is it possible they would need all of the senders information, like address, etc?

You need the MTCN number and sender's name everytime as far as i know... someone may want the address so they know where to send it- unless you've already given it to them- then i don't know.

although i've never received a WU payment, i think that you need the mtcn and senders name with ID to pick up the payment. however, if the receiver has no ID (like you are on a trip and lose your wallet) then you add the test question/answer too, so they do not have to show their ID.

although, i'm not 100% on this. . . .

i work at a place that does wu

All you need is your name, the senders name, and id. If you dont have id you need the test question. The mtcn makes it easier for the wu person to find the trans in the computer , but it isnt needed and most people usually don't have it.

ohh.. yea i sent my friend that info who had to pick up some money i sent him.. and he told me he needed all the senders information... thought it was kindda weird.

most of the time they will need id and ur mtcn with senders ame. the days of collecting without id have gone. but still there jst a company ripping usoff for $

so if u use a test question, there should be no reason why they would need the senders address?

No, The actually address is not required, Providing City/State where funds where sent is more than enough.

You don't need much info to pick up funds, but it makes it easier top have more info

Test Question/Test Answer is not enough. The reciever has to have sender's name and location.. street address is not necessary.. just city and state.
