I know how it works.
I saw when you wrote You didn't get your money today because the [b]participating banks [b]have exceeded their daily limit.
No bank is involved in Western union.
The participating outlets are Dollar family, Walmart, Rite aid .

The participating banks are in Nigeria where the money was sent from, I recieved it on the other end....

There was a context behind my response

Great, go to the bank tomorrow to send western union,come back here to tell us your experience.

I don't have to go to Tomoro and come back, I received here in Houston last week Friday from my mom sent through first bank

If it's unavailable today, it's because the participating banks have exhausted their quota for the quarter, This is after all the last week of the quarter and of the year

Stop driving panic

I don't understand you, specifically the emboldened.

He said if you bring your international card here and try to make payment in naira it won't work because these foreign banks don't want to pay charges.

Just refuting that, cuz it's not true.

It works in places were the merchants have gone out of their way to give them pos deliberately configured to accept international cards

I used my dom account to receive money few days ago... stop spreading lies

What he or she means is you cannot for instance walk into Gtbank and deposit money over the counter to your dom account.

Of course you can receive inflows from anywhere but you can't walk in to the counter and fund your Dom account

Some of you are just funny,someone is telling you can bring america debit card here and withdraw naira ogaoo some pple shaa.

Ok I get all your point,you can't bring those card here it won't work cos bank over there are not ready to pay any charges on your card the way bank pay master card and visa here,some of this bank are already in debt as a result of some of the silly transactions you do over there with our naira master card,so get it straight.u sound knowledgeable enough do ur finding oga

Foreign Cards work in some places such as intercontinental hotel, and places frequently visited by foreigners.

It's not a 'foreign bank' problem it's an acceptance problem. Our pos are configured to run in naira for instance my friend came and ate here for N300 and it charged her bank as $300 so many pos here in Nigeria automatically blocks $ transaction as the back end cannot do the conversion.

Has nothing to do with charges but more to do with inter switch and their configuration. Visa and MasterCard staff have staff who are working full time on acceptance to rectify this although they are meeting resistance from interswitch

You can meet any epayment practitioner in the banks or a staff at MasterCard or visa to enlighten you properly

Which bank gave you PTA in the last 3 months? The only group of people considered slightly were those on holy pilgrimages.

Or do you want me to show you CBN circular on suspension of PTA/BTA?

I bought PTA on the 27th of nov 2015 from Stanbic ibtc at Idejo, Lagos. That same day union was selling, travelex was selling and ecobank was also selling

I wasn't embarking on any holy pilgrimage

Have you asked what she did that made her husband to beat and refused his sick baby from getting medical attention? I am not justifying domestic violence.In fact it is wrong for a man to beat his wife, but there are some women that pushes their husbands to behave like an animal.

Blessedtwins will not and never tell us what she did to her husband. No man, i repeat,no sane man will deny his child medical care unless something terrible had been done to that man.let me tell you,if blessed twin's husband comes here and relate his own part of the story,you all will be amazed.So my dear don't give advice when you haven't hear both sides of the story.

Been a silent reader. But the fact that someone thinks there is a reason on earth that makes this acceptable shocked shocked or excusable shocked shocked is the saddest thing i'v read all Year long. hmm, pls can you give us two imaginary scenarios that makes this excusable/ justifable in your books? what is it you imagine she could have done? even if she knacked another man. Lets even leave the beating, but to take the anger on his own pikin and the pikin's health

i see you edited your post to say you are not justifying domestic violence. LOL. You have just justified domestic violence whether or not you admit it to your self or not

what a sad country we live in. This is the reason why i prayed fervently for God not to give me a daughter.

There are always two sides to a story no doubt, but pls where domestic violence is involved, pls settle your matter from afar o! before they break your head. someone that will not allow a sick child get medical advice when his/her mother is there, i shudder to think of what will happen to this pikin if you pass to yonder o!

i think you summed it up nicely in your post by adding "NO SANE MAN" pls how do you deal with someone that is not SANE? from afar o! no body will wash hand and sit comfortably to partake in a meal with someone that is not sane

a word is enough for the wise

LadyGuinivere:

May I join issues with u here.
Last person labelled an agent WAS AN AGENT.
She admitted to marketing her house for'naira and dollar reasons' and was told to be upfront about her marketing. Apaart from the fact that like 5 pages were dedicated to it, what's wrong with pointing that out?

5 pages dedicated to it is ALL that is wrong. I for one I am against agent/ marketing and lazy newbies but we now overflog the horse even when it's dead and buried

Why do we find it so hard to ignore. No one will tell an ignored person to read up!!! Meanwhile my idea of bullying is not even telling newbies to read up ( I have no sympathy for that)

Ironically, same people that are witch hunting agents are the one promoting and advocating for pms. Hmm

This whole bullying thing is about forcing our individual opinions down other people's throat. Case in point dr A of Chicago or wherever he practices from and also dr F

Let people that had bad experiences post it by all means but it's people that haven't even used this drs that now add kerosene to fire and drag it to the point that it looks like a personal vendetta.

I introduced dr Zimmerman to this thread, I dint even get the opportunity to use him, as I was planning to for my second baby, will I kill myself about him? No

I used fagbohoun for my second baby and had a fantastic experience. I'm i using him this time? No, for cost saving reason

This new dr E, I identified her and planned to use her immediately I heard Zimmerman wasn't taking patients even before she became the rave of the thread, did my research on her and found out that she had a malpractice / negligence suit against her recently, but I decided not to comment until I have used her. Our words can make or mar people, let's exercise caution pls especially for situations u dint experience first hand

Agents will still pm and to be honest it's exhausting responding to pms not to talk about coming to check first who they are on the thread

The name of the thread is costs and procedures not pm & advertise

If not that someone uncovered doctoresperati and shared on this thread, they won't even know there is a thread like this, talk less of advertising on this thread. Same as soulcare, pampered stay and the rest of them.

Yes, some have been abused such as mihs and even dr Zimmerman (which I personally uncovered) but it helped a lot of people at that time. Same way someone uncovering dr A is helping decongest dr F


But it's all good, it's those behind I feel sorry for. I'm about to birth my last child. Sips tea dey watch like Kermit

As for receipts, it's likely her profile has been flagged to show receipts on her way OUT of US, just like Modath, so she has to have all receipts in her handbag!

Speaking of receipts, I mentioned that I was asked to leave my receipts during exit at Houston but didn't.

Well was invited to the embassy after trying to go through Dropbox. All they did was calculate whether I was pregnant during my last interview. Fortunately I wasn't so I was reissued the visa,
they did not even check my receipts.

I will post full details soon.
Thanks

Yes. My friend had a payment plan when she went to give birth at New Jersey. She was still paying when she got her visa renewed for her second baby (no Dropbox) I'm talking of 2011 here

Although she dint admit to still owing, her bill was so high. She had c section and her baby went to nicu. The bill she had paid was large enough to pass as her total bill.

Don't be discouraged, at least you are not taking insurance which Is even the easiest (but wrong way out). I'm sure you can still renew whenever you want to

Not being let into the uS with zero balance is wrong info. Not every hospital / dr gives zero balance even after all debt has been paid
