Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Money order
Issue: Lost or stolen money order — 
Company: PLS GROUP, INC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a {$850.00} money order from PLS on the XXXX of XX/XX/2023 around XXXX. 
When I got home, I couldn't find the money order but I found the receipt and change given to me, I went back immediately because they are close to me. 
I lodged my complaints and I was asked to pay {$15.00} for money order stop payment/refund request form which I did, and they made photo copies the form, my ID, receipts of the money order and refund request form. 
They requested for the money order stub which obviously I could not present because the money order was missing. 
The money order number was on the receipt and they were able to check and verified that the money was not cashed ( which I think was good news. ) PLS still refused to refund me except I produce the stub. 
I begged and appealed to them to temper justice with Mercy but all to no avail. 
That money was for my XXXX rent and well wishers actually contributed the money to me because I have been home for a while due to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
All these explanations fell on PLS deaf ears. 
I am struggling to make ends meet and to loose {$850.00} at this time is disheartening. Please sirs/Mas, I rely on you for a quick recovery. 
Thank you.
