This is because it recharges TCS for all prior transactions even when charged. Although the bug has been highlighted to WU the issue remains unresolved for 3 weeks....

Bad service.

BAD SERVICE, NEVER AGAIN !!! Customer service just try to make you stupid, kicking you from one operator to another operator just to hold your money away from you as long as possible. Hard to get cancel transaction and get your money back to you. Takes almost 2 weeks to get my money back to me. I had to call in Trenton for complain to get same result. BE AWARE !!!...
