That's sort of what I was trying to say, although sometimes it doesn't seem to matter if there is a specific name attached to a domestic cash transfer. At any rate it does not have to be YOUR name, was my point.

The rules for Credit Card transfers are MUCH more stringent than for cash, they want all the t's crossed and the i's dotted etc, before they will release the funds. (If you leave out a middle initial they often will not release the funds, for instance).

I use Moneygram instead of WU generally. They are a lot friendlier.
