Hi Aposhark, You have started a thread about a week ago about this problem with the Western Union and you just said now that your gf's uncle collected the money in the middle of March? So all along while you and your gf were discussing about where the mistake was, the money is already with her uncle?. If she hardly can't speak English and find it difficult to think of what proper words to say to you, it is very easy to say "Hon i got the money" or i don't have it yet. For filipinos having a strongly knit relationship with family members is not an excuse of keeping the money that doesn't belong to them or approach the elders about an important matter that concerns them. Anyway, i'm glad it finally got into your gf's hands by now.
