    Ubereats - My older daughter ordered food from this service, and as far as I can gather the driver, from the street, spotted her younger sister (16) on the front stoop. Not sure if he thinks he's a junior g-man or what, but he called the police and reported a child endangerment issue for her strawberry hemangioma. In case you don't know, that's a birthmark. It's not even that pronounced, and he was in his car. After a visit from the police, who seemed puzzled by the non-issue and reported everything ok - I guess it turns out not to be a police issue to have a birthmark. So, I decide to complain to the company. Guess what - NO CONTACT NUMBERS OR EMAILS available - at all. Make of that what you will. They are not welcome at my house anymore.

    I went on Google and searched "Uber Executive Emails" and boom! There was emails for some of the executives. I wrote an email to one of the VP's about the issues I was having and also cut and pasted all the communication I had with their customer service. One day later...I received an email from customer service with an apology and the issue was resolved!

    Sometimes, you just have to go to the top and state your case. I respect the executives at Uber for listening to my issue and getting it resolved. Now, I hope I don't have to go to the top again and customer service/driver support will change for the better.

    I started driving Uber when they opened the in Tampa, Florida market. I was issued an iPhone to utilize for driver tools. I drove a few times but quit since I was not getting the business Uber had advertised. Anyway, I received notification that they were going to charge fees for using it or I could use my smartphone for no fee. I returned the iPhone and did not drive for about 2 years.

    I decided to drive part time with Uber so I reapplied and was approved. I drove for a 1 day and when I went to earnings, I was in debt to Uber $365.00! A fee they kept charging me for the iPhone I returned! I contacted driver support and they asked me for tracking number, proof I sent it back, etc. I replied and told then it has been close to 2 years and I have no documentation.

    I suggested they go back on their server and locate ALL of the communication they had with me since I signed up as a driver. They keep asking me for more details with screenshots. Really??? You'd assume a company like Uber should have everything on back up servers since there is NO PHONE NUMBER to call. Anyway, I have contacted them requesting a manager to call me. NOTHING!!! My personal information was hacked at Uber and did they compensate for not protecting my information? No! But they want to charge me fees for equipment I returned and say nothing for 2 years and let fees accumulate??? Customer and Driver Support services are unsatisfactory and I am requesting my information be deleted from their database and drive for their competitor. I will keep you posted on how Uber resolves my issue.

    I starting using again recently. I noticed my personal checking account balance was getting lower. I checked my statement online and Uber had been charging my personal bank card, and not my preferred business card which is my selected card. My personal card was only to used if my business account had low funds which was not the case. Uber insisted for 2 weeks that if I gave them the dates and times of the rides, they would reverse those payments, and charge the correct card. They did not do that, and then started asking to provide all of that information again and I had already done that 4 times.

    They did send me an email for one of the charges, but all Uber did was charge my business card and jacked up the ride and my tip, so I was not only charged twice, but also more than the original rate and tip a week later. Then I received a call from a man stating he was with Dun and Bradstreet and wanted me to take a survey. When I asked him what the survey is for, he said "This is about your complaint to Uber. Didn't you recently dispute something?" I hung up. That is creepy. How does a telemarketer know that I ride with Uber or ANYTHING else about me. Uber data breach? So besides Uber ripping me off, I now have to worry that someone obtained my information through Uber.

    We used Uber for the first time in Panama City Beach last weekend. All three drivers were wonderful. We had a blast. The first driver was so sweet and smart, his daughter called him while we were driving and he would not even talk to her because he was on the job, second guy was sweet and country and professional, third was a female, very sweet and took us right to our motel. We will be using them on our next trip. I don't get the bad reviews but I was in Florida so people may be nicer there. Thank you Uber.

    I am a driver on the Uber platform and have driven in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and now South Carolina. I recently had my account put on hold due to a "report of possible impairment while driving". This is maybe the 4th random reporting that is totally b.s. As a ** man I receive all types of race and gender related ignorance and biases and I am vulnerable at all times unless I protect myself while I am on the road. Uber allows passengers to make false reports that affect the driver, but has no way for the driver to protect themselves from the false attacks. After research it's a drastically common issue on the Uber platform. I suggest anyone looking to drive for Uber understand that while you are an independent contractor for Uber, you will still suffer the consequences of the reality that Uber is ran like a private correctional facility. DRIVE AT YOUR OWN HIGH RISK.

    Needed a ride home after work. Tried to use Uber. Big mistake. It was raining outside when I was leaving work. The app showed the driver was a few minutes out. The app showed them drive past where I was. Added time to their arrival. Saw the app show the vehicle driving past where I was adding more time. The app changed again adding again the time of arriving. I tried to call the driver to no avail. I cancelled costing me $5.00. Unreliable as far as I am concerned. Had to call a cab. They had no problem finding me for the ride home. Got rid of the Uber app. Never again! Beware!

    Having flown overnight 4 hrs took Uber this morning 7.15 am from Chatrapati Shivaji terminal T2 Mumbai airport. Car number ** driver name Ram. I paid him and whilst getting down forgot my mobile left back seat. In 15 mins called my number and the driver picked up saying he has picked another passenger and is near bus terminal Mulund. I asked him if he can wait and I come by rickshaw and pick my mobile. He agreed. Bus terminal is just 10 mins from my house. I rushed, however, he was not there. Upon calling he mentioned the passenger was getting late and could not wait. I asked him how will he return my phone he asked me to call back. On calling he mentioned that I need to pay 20 rupees per kilometer to come and deliver the phone accepted. Tried calling him the full day. Finally he said shall come in the evening. Called him evening. He said, "Have left. Please pay me. Am coming." Accepted. Waiting. Still not arrived.

    Time is 8.30 pm 12 hrs without my phone is a loss of 12 lac Indian rupees to me. Understand it is my fault but what fails me is 1) he has to check if all belongings are taken once customer leaves 2) if he finds has to call or at least ask people around giving description of the person sitting behind and got out. 3) call Uber office and register saying found phone. He has made a racket of the issue for personal gain and blackmailed saying he will come evening and deliver at cost evening has become night and still waiting. I use Uber since March daily up and down spending average 500 rupees. Great service!! Guys wake up and pick drivers who are responsible.

But turned out 50% only and fee for me and the rider pick up fee. I think Uber was good when they was paying the driver right but knowing that are going to be criminal stuff from creating a hassle working and freaking out situation from support in live. This people are awesome in threatening the people bad and take their money.

    Uber should get deactivated. Bad business and customer service no way. Drivers need to sleep in their car to make a living. I wished every rider would see this... But enough. Here the list. Underpaid drivers, doppel fee, not paying the tips to the driver, rating manipulate, employees support frequently freaking out and miss competitive, app regenerate message complaints, app is stalking all data from drivers, app is manipulate drives dramatically, Uber make drivers depend on them, no way of handling people with respect or rights, just ripping off drivers and riders.

    On April 16th, I purchased a $10 Uber gift card to add to my credits to ensure I had enough credits to go to store and back home. This brought my credit balance to 13.50, one way ride was $6, therefore, I would have the $12 total to cover there and back, well I thought. On attempt to confirm ride home I had no credits remaining, even after the first ride receipt only showed $6. This left me stranded and having to walk 4 miles home because I had no more payment options. Contacted Uber via email when made it home. They gave me some dumb excuse about an authorization hold on an additional $6 to ensure there was enough on payment method to cover trip. Well first of all, this policy relates to debit or credit card use, and secondly, I've ride many times using gift cards and this never happened. Well they continued to reply saying the hold was released and I should contact my bank. HILARIOUS... what bank... idiots, I used YOUR UBER gift card.

    Then they tell me the hold should have been released and credited back to my Uber account within a couple of hours. Well it's been 2 days, still nothing. The fact that this business is willing to lose a 5 star regular customer over $6 says a lot about how much they value your business. It isn't amount the amount for me, it is the inconvenience of being stranded and having to walk 4 miles home, after purchasing a gift card to ensure I have enough credits to cover this. Moral of story, if you are using an UBER gift card to cover your UBER ride make sure you purchase DOUBLE the amount because they will put an "authorization hold" on one amount and then deduct another charge of same amount. And do nothing to rectify the situation. A very comical and shady business practice. I've included screenshots of them advising me to contact my bank. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

    On April 15th several of my friends were downtown at a concert and decided to take an Uber to and from the concert so none of us would drink and drive. Our first UberXL (1-6 people) was $53 for 21 miles. No problem. When it came time to leave later that evening we selected the same Uber except the upfront price shown was $54.82. That was fine. When we arrived at our drop off destination another simple 21 miles away our ending fare was $124.42... Confused I contacted Uber since this was our first time using the service and I was told that the fare was correct and they up the prices at night to encourage drivers to be there. I was told there was nothing they could do and was assured that the fare was correct.

    After several messages later they credited my account $31.10 to make up for the misunderstanding which does me no good because I will never use their service again. It would be worth staying sober the whole night and driving everyone home for the price it ended up costing us grand total with tips. Our drivers were very good and safe though. Nothing against them.

    Wait time fee assessed being the following conditions are true. I ordered the Uber in the exact location I was standing when the Uber arrived. The Uber driver did NOT await on me one second as I was waiting in an obvious location that is easily visible from anywhere in the parking lot. According to the policy, although the driver didn’t wait for me - I was the one who waited. “A fee will be begin a few minutes after your driver arrives” & “We will notify you that a charge has started”. Neither of these conditions occurred.

    This seems to be a regular shady practice. This isn’t normally something I would notice however since it occurred before I was reviewing the bill. It’s bad enough they charge all these surcharges and fees when it’s clearly not high/volume or peak times (you can see Uber’s in area). They also charge duplicate charges (base fare, distance, time, booking fee) there all for the same thing. It’s ridiculous that I go to the same place at same time every week and the price deviates such significant percentages. This is not the 1st time this wait time charge was assessed when I was waiting outside.

    When I first started riding with Uber a year ago the price was OK and when they were "surging" it was usually early morning, holidays and late night. Now it seems like the surging is constant. Price is one thing and another minute later it's ten dollars or more higher and it's not even a holiday or early morning or weather conditions. Drivers are charging fees for things that haven't happened, like spills, cleaning fees, burnt cigarettes. I don't smoke, but I learned early on always take pictures before and after your trips 'cause drivers will try to get you. They aren't ending trips on time, they're canceling without even getting close to the pickup spot. This company is out of control in pricing and driver and company customer service.

    I have a car but I use to use them if I didn't want to pay high parking fees. But believe me it's so much cheaper 'cause you never know when Uber is "surging" which is all hours of the day, even though on my phone map it will show numerous cars sitting close by but they're in high demand. Yeah okay. I'm done with these ride sharing apps. They are scamming and it's too much to get your money returned 'cause there's no one to talk to. Emailing them take forever. Good luck to anyone needing them. This company should be held to some sort of laws about how much they can charge on a short or long trip. $95.05 for a 3.3 mile trip is ridiculous. And then they want you to tip, and I'm one who believes in that. But tipping is based upon service, and to me Uber is not delivering that anymore.

    I've been using Uber for 2 years now. They started off as a great company but they've been steadily increasing their fares. I have noticed a trend with them as of recently. Several Uber drivers will sit in a parking lot and do nothing and jacked up the prices of rides. I go just under 3 miles to work and just under three miles back home. Not a very long distance but they tried to charge me as much as $40 S4 just 3 miles.

    They often go to the wrong place and blame me for it when I clearly tell them where to go and now they charged a wait fee as well. I think there should be a limit to how much they can charge on their so-called surcharges. $40 for two and a half miles is crazy and I even got within 1 mile of my house by walking and it was still $38. There is no limit to how high they will go and their charges. Half their drivers don't even know where they're going. Some don't even speak English. This is the worst company I have ever seen and a lawsuit needs to be filed against them.

    Like many others Uber charged me multiple cancellation fees that were driver's fault, not mine. Instead of refunding my Gift Card, they issue me Uber Credit. That credit has not been used for payment on the 30 trips I have made since it was sent to me. I have sent close to 100 messages to HELP and they assured me that if I added more money on my gift card it would be applied on next trip. 30 trips and $350 later, credit still there. After 45 days of constantly getting rides denied for insufficient funds, when my gift card/Uber credit amount that is combined together in payment was more than enough, I went to Houston Greenlight Hub. They too refuse to help me out and actually had security force me off the property.

    Only thing I got out of them is that Uber Credits cannot be used with gift card payment, only bank cards. So that means that HELP's messages assuring me that next gift card will work was BS. They told me I had to apply a valid bank card to use credits. I told them that I refuse to since they were hacked and customers information and money was stolen from their servers. The reply given by the MANAGER of the Hub was, "I guess you don't want that credit then huh".

    These people don't care one bit about their paying customers and need to be exposed for the crap they pull. I'm sending emails to my local news station and paper with the details and support messages sent, in hopes that they will do a story on Uber. I hope that others will do the same. They will keep screwing us with bogus charges and refuse to correct them until someone stands up and let everyone else know how they do business. To me it's unfathomable how they don't have a customer service phone number to call. They pretty much put Yellow Cab out of business and took over the #1 spot, but no C Service to speak to?

    Almost seems like they don't care or know that if they did they might actually have to give the money they took back. Either way, I'm going to do all I can to inform as many people possible of their unwillingness to properly provide customers with any type of real contact information and refusal to reimburse those who they improperly charged. That's stealing in my eyes and they should get punished like anyone else would if they did the same.

    Uber as a company does not care about consumers. First, there is no way to communicate or get support. Second, there is no consistency between the website and the app. What can be done in one cannot in the other and vice versa. Third, the app does not always do what it is told. For instance I wanted to pay with a credit card and it defaulted to another account even though I specifically chose the CC. Fourth, the app rates the rider but does not give feedback. How does a rider know what they did that offended the driver so they can correct it? Finally, the web page and the app are cumbersome. It is extremely ironic that a user has to verify. They are not a robot to access a utility run completely by computers.

In this payment the driver is paying for gas charges, toll charges, time duration, safe driving skill and etc. After dropping off to customer, driver must have to come back to his hometown as well. While coming back, the driver is not allowed to pick any passenger from JFK NY legally. After all the driver can save only $150. I got paid $153 only from Uber. And Uber charged $215 from customer. Which also very low. In this whole trip both side I put my life in risk and provided neat and safe ride with expert safe driving skill.

    In this amount I paying my tax and many more travel expenses. And I save nothing after spending my whole day. I cannot drive in NYC area with Uber legally. It requires TLC NYC License for driving with Uber in NYC. I came back without having any passenger. This is totally unfair with any driver in Uber. I did not earn anything from this Uber ride. How Uber is calculating the fares, only Uber is making money, driver is not making anything. Driver can't save any penny on every ride. They are paying less than vehicle expenses. I. Which amount any driver cannot say that he/she had made good money. In any business an investor always charges for service a reasonable amount, in that amount investor is making his/her business expenses and profit.

    Then the investor can say happily that he/she had made something good. Uber expects with the driver to provide neat and clean vehicle with safe driving skill. Uber already charging very low fare from riders and paying more low to drivers. How the drivers can save and can maintain their vehicles. Uber is destroying the taxi fare market. This why many people are joining and leaving Uber daily. I am totally disappointed from Uber because of all this scene.

    UBER charged me for trips on Dec. 29. 2017 to Dec. 31, 2017, but then the second driver for UBER overcharged me for the trips for the dates I have listed above and the first trip was to do an application for a apartment in Wood Village Apartments. Then after that I told him to go to the pharmacy to pick up my vitamins on Capital Street in Jackson MS, then after that I told that second driver to take me back to ** and the trips the second driver for UBER was supposed to take me to is for the particular dates I listed. He overcharged me $333.00 for all those trips and I ended up only having $35.00 left in my account and debit cash management card from Fidelity after the UBER driver took all of my money off my Fidelity debit card ending in **.

    I never got reimbursed for my $333.00 from UBER and I don't schedule transportation with these people anymore, because they lie and tell me they are going to give me transportation, but the drivers for UBER never give me any type of transportation requests, so I end up wasting my money and my time trying to get transportation from UBER. Let everyone know that UBER is a scam and they really don't transport people anywhere. They only tell people they are going to transport people, so they can take money off their credit card and leave them with nothing!

    UBER does not properly investigate passenger complaints. They just take the word of the passenger who can malign your character at will. Twice accused of being impaired, but do not do drugs or alcohol just misjudged a turn on a narrow street the first time and the second time have no clue what they thought I’d done and Uber doesn’t tell you.

    Another time I got blocked from driving was because I returned a phone that was forgotten in my car and the girl was crazy talking about her job and life and I was nice enough to listen and offered some advice. The final block and formal dismissal was that I offered my hand to hold an older lady out of the back seat of my car and was accused of sexual misconduct. That one is beyond nuts. They obviously don’t look at all the 100s of positive ratings and wonderful compliments. They only look at the false accusations. I guess I could accuse any driver of anything and make them unemployed in a snap. UBER needs a more reliable method of investigating complaints as their current method is possibly causing some unverifiable character assassinations. Not a very employee friendly company. Shows it is just about the MONEY for them. Would never advise anyone to drive for or use Uber!

    Last week I ordered an Uber but I canceled it before it arrived and took the bus instead. When I got home I received an email from Uber saying that they had revised my charge. Apparently the driver filed a claim for something Uber called a "cleaning fee". I disputed this saying that I had not even entered the vehicle and asked for proof of this claim. They then sent me several photos which showed what appeared to be damage to a seat cushion from a cigarette burn.

    Again, I disputed the fee. I was eventually able to get them to reverse the $80.00 fee but not without MULTIPLE emails back and forth. I have since sent them several emails asking what kind of consequences there would be for this driver and asking for a reply. None have been received so I guess that means that there are NO consequences for this dishonest, greedy driver. Terrible service. I will be closing my Uber account. I would rather take the bus than risk having another similar experience. Be careful out there!

First for one thing I had to go to work this morning and every time a driver accepted my ride, they would cancel on their way to pick me up, that happened 3 times. I didn't want to be late for work. One of the drivers suddenly texted me and said he can't do my ride and the idiot tells me to cancel. I got a charge for canceling. Then another idiot driver that accepted to give me a ride, he stopped driving. ( I saw him on the map) just sitting there a long time, he texted me finally and asked me if I would mind if he changes vehicles? I didn't answer him, so the weirdo canceled my ride. I'm very angry at this point, so I tried Lyft (which is much better) and I got a ride from them right away. I made it to work on time.

    Later I checked my bank account and Uber charged me for a ride I didn't take. They took 19 dollars, another day they took $19.12 from my account on March 4th, when my daughter sent for the ride with her phone and paid for it! Don't use these crooks!

In my case, recently I was trying to book the ride but due to less balance in my payment, I was not been allowed to book it so I changed the payment method to Cash and booked the ride and paid the cash to the driver at the end of the trip.

    But later I was replied that the ride was a non-cash ride, so they can not reverse the transaction. The customer care did not even bothered to contact me for understanding the problem or to the driver to find out whether the payment was done in cash or not. Though the amount involved is very small (Rs.42 only) and where I am a very regular customer who have taken far bigger trips in Uber, if they can not resolve the issue, I consider it as a very rude behavior on part of the company. And I lost my faith in the company and even if I pay that amount, I am not sure there will be no such problems in future which might involve bigger amount. Thus I have decided to discontinue using their services without even payment of that disputed amount (as it is I have already paid it in cash).

I am leaving." Fortunately I had walked out of side gate and was able to catch him before he left.

    During the trip he constantly complained and stated I should look at things from the driver's point of view and I should not be frustrated. When I arrived at destination he stated have a good night and I stated the trip did not contribute to me having a good night. I exited vehicle and Rosoid instantly called me a **.

Then the driver said he would meet them at Grand Central Station which is at least 5 Avenues away or pick her up in front of a hotel. He never arrived and charged for a trip that neither my mom or child was in the car! You can see in the email images that there is no way in hell that short of a trip could have been $18! My mom called Dial 7 and they took her and the baby home. This is outright fraud.

    Uber does this ALL the time when anyone in my family requests carseats. Lately, and I have a 4.77 rating, the drivers have been lying about my pick up location and want me to meet them blocks away. If they are that incompetent, do not hire them! Uber refuses to answer our emails and you cannot call them. Something must be done!

    I have created an Uber account recently in Portland, US. When I try to use the free first ride which is the referral ride, it throws some error. I must have written to customer care some 10 times since yesterday and they are so inefficient even to resolve small issues like this. They have been giving some lame excuses and suggestions, to restart my app and all. Worst of all, they even stopped responding after some time. I have not been able to book a ride because of this. I have never expected such a worst service from Uber, when they claim that customer service is their first priority.

    I was overcharged by Uber recently. I was shown a fare of 787.66 and at the at of the trip the fare was 1875 and I had to pay it. Later I contacted Uber and they said it happened due to GPS error and they refunded me the difference in Uber credits. Now, I don't understand who has given them the right to convert my money into Uber credits!!! I have no intention of using Uber again after this bad experience.

    I contacted them many times and I provided them with my bank details and they told me they cannot refund my money to my bank account. So, they overcharged me and then they converted my money into Uber credits without my permission. Now, I have 1200+ Uber credits in my Uber account. I really don't want to use Uber again and I want my money back because that's my money and Uber has no right to decide it for me to how to use my money (as they have decided for me that I need to use that money for my next rides).

    I request you all not to use Uber as they don't care about the customers. They steal your money and blame GPS. I am not the only one who was overcharged and treated like this. During my ride, someone called the driver and he was also arguing with the driver for the same issue. Uber has lost one customer for sure and I request everyone don't use their service. Shame on UBER!!!

    Uber has very bad customer support. If their driver charge more they didn't refund any amount to customer and he has to pay more than double some time because of Uber bad system response or driver ask to pay more amount. In this way Uber is cheating its customer. They should ask their driver to pay back extra amount instead of blaming customer to pay through online methods. They simply says they didn't pay the cash payment that is paid by mistake.

    Thank you (customer service rep). Yesterday Feb 14, 2018 I picked up three pool riders at the airport going to Seattle. I estimated in my head roughly $20 each, or a $60 payout to me. When the earnings finally loaded, I was given $35. I assumed it was for the longest of the three riders. No! It was the total I was being paid for all three riders!!! I checked what Uber collected and was equally shocked to find out you charged the riders, including discounts, a total of $96!!! You used my car to load up three different fares from the airport to Seattle. You charged the riders, and were paid $96 for my time and effort driving them. The only problem is, you only deemed it necessary to pay me one dollar for every three you collected from them. It IS highway robbery. You are robbing me (on the Highway) of my just portion of the fares you collect from the public for my time, effort and risk.

    I have no issue with you taking 25% of the fares. That is what you need to run your business. I DO have an issue with you taking 65% of the fares that I earned for you, and giving me only 35%. I see there is clearly no remedy from your so called help department. I have sent in 5 requests and get the same tired pat answers every time. I think the next step for me has to be the news and publicity of your rampant disregard for the drivers who spend their time and risk their vehicles every day for you. When you feel it is OK to take 65% of our fares for yourself, something needs to change. I will wait for one last response from you. Hopefully not a trite repetition of the last 5 answers. Indignant in Seattle.

    I have been an UBER rider for more than a year. Here in Richmond VA, United States. Never pay attention on charges of UBER 'cause I trusted the company and my account was healthy, good balance most of the time. I used UBER twice a day going to work. I got no car, sometimes exceptionally more than two times, but my usual is two. I start noticing that on my pending transaction of the bank I have instead of 2 charges, 4 charges... up to 6 charges on one day. So I decided NOT TO TRUST and check all my transactions and validated them with the receipts they send to the email when I then close the trip. I found more than 5 overcharges.

    When after so many struggles to get to them for HELP ('cause is the worst customer service access in the world) finally they told me about the ON HOLD issue with this exactly words: "Authorization holds are not actual charges, it is just a "hold" that is placed on your account that you will see as "pending" or "processing" because it is not an actual charge to your account. Authorization holds are in place to secure payments when a ride is requested. It is placed on your account to ensure you have sufficient funds to cover your trip fare. I can also confirm that it will drop off or disappear from your bank statement after a few business days."

    The bank withdraw the charge from my account as UBER charge me, then I found in two days trip, 4 charges or more. Absurd!!! UBER is not a HOTEL, you place a RIDE and you pay for it with your selected payment method that they should verify is valid since the moment you attached to your account. NOT on every trip. If you don't have balance you don't ride. That is it. DON'T OVERCHARGE ME. I don't want charges ON HOLD, less when I am a customer on daily basis for more than a year. You verify everything about me when I signed on. What in the world!!! This is so frustrating. The only this that is demonstrated in my case, is that I am a number in UBER, a number on 40 millions riders. But can you imagine how much money is ON HOLD CHARGES for 40 millions users for 24 hrs... is financially attractive numbers. Think about it. Very concern. Hope somebody track this on hold abuse.

    Improvements for UBER: well, 1) the app MUST be more transparent in the transactions and charges to the riders. 2) Definitively any ON HOLD charges, the UBER driver is validated on sign on and only review it if it change the payment method 3) charges for cancellations must be review too, most drivers are so irresponsible and never show up 4) UBER technology is not for everyone, old people have problems to be drivers 5) Please customer service is awful, create a chat or phone number, a case number. We who rides... WE ARE LIVING PEOPLE, check your charges everyday. you also can be harmed as me.

Please refund me the difference... thanks." They wrote back: "I reviewed your trip, and can see that the price you were charged $30.03 matches the price you were shown before you confirmed the trip. If there’s a significant delay between entering your location and confirming your trip, your price may sometimes change. If that's the case, we'll always ask you to re-confirm the new price."

    I replied: "No that is not the case. I would not have accepted the price at $30. We would have just driven. My initial price was $15.42, once I hit confirmed, it recomputed and said that price is no longer available and it gave us 16.46. But I was charged 30.03. I believe there is a glitch in your software, I would not have accepted a 30 buck ride from my location. I respectfully request a refund."

If it quoted me the wrong price, I should not have to pay for the mistake in pricing. This is very unfortunate. I did so enjoy this service. But this is unacceptable. I am telling you that your app quoted one price but charged me another price. And apparently the only proof was to take a screen shot before accepting. Who does that... FIX YOUR APP.

What do you mean double check, because when I asked her to provide she didn't have the time only the date but I gave the text message and have to double check. Then she changed it from 2/1/18 72 hours wait to starting on 2/3/18 72 hours wait.

First of all when I get a call with like 3 people in an Uber pool but they are just a big family is amazing because that leaves no other room for other passengers anyway.

    THIS IS AN EXTREMELY URGENT MATTER AS I AM LOOKING TO FILE FORMAL LEGAL CHARGES ON UBER CORPORATION IN SAN FRANCISCO as their malice & lack of proper technology has caused me to lose approx. $700 income which I have screenshots as proof, but they made a mockery of me by ignoring my very emotional one hour visit, providing all of my proof, & they ever intended on helping me at all. The supervisor promised to get San Francisco headquarters involved which he never did as I never received any reimbursement to income loss or an explanation to why they are allowing this harassment to continue! I was given "inside" information on why this is happening to me only in the day shift and if it is true, Uber can be shut down for this!

    Since they are refusing to remedy this, I now have no choice but to obtain legal assistance along with our local media troubleshooters to expose them for what they are. I WILL TAKE THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT IF I HAVE TO AND UBER DOES NOT INTIMIDATE ME & they certainly do not need any more negative press, but to interfere with me trying to earn an honest living, out of malice & because of whistleblowing to other drivers, is not going to be tolerated any longer. Us drivers are also cheated out of surge amounts clearly offered to us when we accept the rides, but never paid to us correctly. I have hundreds of screenshots also showing this which I believe is also illegal and also sent to Uber via the "support center" who denies making the pay adjustments even with the proof that the surge was at a certain amount at the time of dispatch so they owe me for this also.

    Even though we are contractors we have to be paid what is being showed at that current time as the pay rate and we are not. It was when I stood up for us drivers with this accusation, when this daytime driving at the airport, staying #1 in the queue for up to 7.5 HOURS each day, being at the #1 spot in queue due to the hours I waited to get there, and being stuck in that spot with no rides given to me but all other drivers at double digit spots, would get all the rides and I had no choice but to leave each day of no income because of what torture they are putting me through on purpose. I made videos on what happened to me and I plan on releasing them to all social media and hopefully televised media troubleshooters. Us drivers sit in that inhumane holding lot with disgusting facilities (porta johns that are rarely cleaned and sanitized) for ONE REASON only. To receive rides from either Terminal A, B & C ONLY.

    We should not be given rides outside those 4 walls and I seem to be the only driver that gets them and of course I am not losing my spot in line to go do a $2 ride at the local mall but when they keep sending me those non-airport related rides, and I decline, they push me to the bottom of the queue which wasted all those hours or they shut my account off thinking I do not want to drive!!! This is a company worth BILLIONS and cannot get their technology dept. to fix these things? LYFT would NEVER dispatch any rides to any drivers in the Holding lot that does not relate to picking up travelers. I have so many hours spent in calling the outsourced helpline and you can pull up my calls to see I have begged them to get my calls to Corporate so they can look into these accusations I am making.

    At first I thought there were not enough morning and mid-day travelers UNTIL the Port Authority CONFIRMED EACH DAY I WAS PURPOSELY NOT SENT RIDES SO I CAN EARN A LIVING, in the hours I was not dispatched anything, there were over 40 planes landed and approx. 1700 travelers landing and I'm sure needed rides as every other driver was being dispatched but me. Being in the queue as the next driver to go out & not one ride was sent to me the first day for 7 hours (5 a.m.to noon), the 2nd day 5.5 hours (7 a.m.-12:30 a.m) and the 3rd day another 7 hours + and that is when I LOST MY COOL as I was now at over 30 hours of not being offered one airport ride resulting in no daytime INCOME!!!

    I recorded all the vehicles that left then let to pick up passengers though they arrived only 1/2 hour before being sent out!!! The video also has sound bites of me interviewing other drivers and their confirmations that they were only waiting short times, while I was there 7 hours, and they were on their 2-3 ride! The Hub sent me away with only $100 from the minimum $700 I was owed for the 3 days with no rides sent to me, and the promise Corporate will contact me and that was over 2 months ago & and I have NOT heard anything else regarding this VERY SERIOUS matter denying me of the right to work. Something you may find very interesting is the night following the 2nd daytime of another 7 hours not receiving rides, I was working a concert at Prudential Center and I met a driver in a Black SUV & he laughed and said he knew EXACTLY what was happening.

    He was an EX-UBER back office employee and told me of an "inside" way to get back at drivers who complain and "piss them off". He said it is called "FLAGGING". Any driver that gets on their bad side, is given a small black arrow next to their account and a certain algorithm code is made to the flagged account that causes the computer to cease all dispatches to this driver once they hit #1 in the queue but again, this only happens to me any day, from morning until evening so I must have made somebody on the day shift upset but this also must be not permitted. I am done with this discrimination for whistleblowing & speaking my mind and IT HAS GOT TO STOP!!! The Hub which is now in Secaucus tell us drivers whatever they have to get us out of their office.

    It was SWORN to me by the Supervisor at the Hoboken Hub, he would personally ensure all of my screenshots and numerous complaints about these disgusting tactics making me lose hundreds in income, would be handled so I am sure you understand my frustration. If you are able to read the messages sent to me by hundreds of passengers who take time out of their day to send them, you will see I am a very highly regarding driver and one of the best. 95% of my passengers ask if I can give them my cell # and become their permanent driver for cash and I politely turn them down because I feel that is stealing from the Company, something I will never do. They love how friendly and funny I am and offer snacks and water to everybody.

    The comments are the ONLY reason I still drive for Uber especially since they know that their fee starts at 50% and goes to 70% from the rider's fare and give us the measly leftovers meanwhile WE DO ALL THE WORK!!! This is immoral, disgraceful, & a business practice that should be investigated. Most driver's had no idea they now keep that much for themselves and I made sure they all know it not and Uber did not like that. Oh Well!! We signed a contract to pay them a fee of 25%, nothing more. I now make approx. $50 - $70/night compared to the $200 per night I was earning when the fee was what I contracted for. It is ALL A SCAM. I am only asking for reimbursement for the proof I provided them showing how many hours went by with me sitting for 1/2 a day looking like a fool while every other driver was making tons of $. I am at poverty level because of them.

    I know that 75% of the drivers take cash for rides every night and make thousands a week in cash and they have showed me proof of this. Since I wanted to see if Corporate or the Hub fixed this problem with me and today was the 1st time I decided to drive the airport during the day and sure as anything, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AND AFTER 5.5 hours there with no rides being sent my way, I went home. I could have driven rush hour and made good money but I should not be singled out not being able to do daytime airport rides. I was #1 in the queue again for hours. As a legal US Citizen, I have the right to earn income and to have no interference with this. I AM TIRED OF THEIR LIES, THEIR DECEIT, THEIR FRAUDULENT business practices towards me! I am praying I can get some assistance with this matter as it is emotionally, financially and physically impacting my life negatively.

    In July of 2017 I used Uber Pool to go 1.5 miles from the Atlanta airport to my offices near the airport. I was quoted $5 to $7 dollars before I accepted. (I used Google Maps to book it, which Uber allows. If Google was the problem, which no one at Uber ever said, their problem should be with Google.) I got charged over $13. I wrote Uber and in their response they emphasized that what I am quoted before the trip will always be the price, "no surprises," then went on to say they had reviewed the trip, and the charge was in line with what it should have cost, so "you're good."

    I went back and forth with what appeared to be a chatbot which was unresponsive to any of my arguments. I checked the same route and never got quoted higher than $5 to $7. I checked with colleagues who had done that route and they never paid that much. But I could not get resolution. Ultimately I disputed all but $6 with my credit card company. The next time I tried to use Uber, they wouldn't let me until I paid the full 13.26 even though I only disputed 7 of it. I've opened up new cases on this, and I get the same word for word non-sequitur responses. I haven't used them since July only because I refuse to pay that charge, and they have lost a lot of business. I would like to use Uber again especially in other countries (where I can't use Lyft). But is there no way to talk to a real person who can see how stupid this is?

    I think it's very inconsiderate and inappropriate that you corporate people do not address the issue that your drivers have with this so called support team. I have been screwed over so many times this week by your support. We are pushed against a wall and there is nothing we can do but accept whatever resolution your so called specialist come up with. Which is so unacceptable. We send yall a grievance or an issue and yall refer it right back to the same people who did nothing to solve the problem only made it worse. My account keeps getting locked so I can't get my instant pay every... Every month. Why... I have my phone which the app is on my phone and you have to use my phone to get in my account to swipe my instant pay... Smh.

    Next I order a go card. I received it on the 20 of Jan. I activated it. An instant pay still went to the wrong account. Why? Because no one told me to switch my account on the partners app... Oh and then I did that. Called again the next day. Uber says everything is fine. "Your instant pay will be posted to your go card..." Lies once again. "Oh I'm sorry it takes 2 days for the card to become active..." That was not in the paperwork the go card came in. Uber did not tell me that the 3 previous times I called trying to fix this problem.

    Next had an issue with a rider whose child wrote on my seat with permanent marker. They want to give me $40 for a cleaning fee... On cloth black seats. What was I suppose to do with that. Sad. So I get it cleaned cost $170.00. Give them the receipt and they say an inconvenience fee will be posted to my account in 24 to 48 hours... So to make sure it is going to the go card once again my 4th or 5th time talking to them. The man informs, "Yes it's going to your card. Put the go card routing and accounting number." I did this while I was on the phone with the man (Uber rep). And asked him why they didnt tell me about this before to change the account info. He was baffled. I asked him again was my 180.00 going to the go card... "Yes. Yes it is..." Once again lies.

    It goes to the old account and nobody can stop a deposit. You're are a big company. Little business put stop pays on checks and deposits. So really. This is Uber's reply when I called at 530 in the morning. There is nothing that they can do. Huh. But yall have Fed me these lies and misinformed me about processes and procedures this whole week and my money is lost and I can't get it back. Wow. What kind of company is this... That do their driver any kind of way and treat them like they are nothing.

    So it's 746 pm... I just got off the phone with them at 630 the same morning. And now my instant pay is locked up. Why. Who knows. It's some kind of flags on the account that no one can explain. We are not represented well enough. Wow. Once again... Uber wants us as driver to be on top of our game. Clean car. Dressed nice. Acting professional... But we cannot get any of these traits from you ay Uber. My customers love me and I adore my customers. I have done 850 trips since July 2017. I have put anywhere between 50 to 75 hours a week... 4.88 rating. I dont remember how many badges and compliments. And this is how we get treated. Oh wow.

    But I know I won't get an answer. Yall executives dont care about the people who keep your company running. Yall treat us so bad... Wow. You will send this email back to your support team who barely speaks fluent and comprehensible English and they will mess up something else. The ones you have to tell, "Excuse me I can barely understand you..." The ones who does not know all the information that they need to know to help resolve problems. The ones who tell you half truths just to avoid confrontations about issue that we know should not proceed in certain manners. Wow... This is such a tragedy. Sad. Really sad.

Upon trying to put a code that is required in order to add funds to his account, I peeled off the code and the code was unreadable. After numerous phone call to Uber’s customers service number which brings you through a 3 question on winning a trip to Florida, Bahamas etc. which was a total waste of my time the person tells me I need to purchase another card and then they will refund my money.

This account was had not been active since 3/25/17. They refuse to remove this account from under my name.

    Also, my account I have no idea what happened to my account with my bank information on the account. Then they tell me they cannot provide me this information because of legal issues. They keep trying to send this charge to my bank for collection. After I consistently told them do not try to access my account for this fee of $69.69. Then they went even further, they told me there is another outstanding fare that is associated with my payment method that is outstanding. They have restricted my Uber account until I pay these outstanding fares.

    I called an Uber ride. I called in plenty of time to make my bus which was not scheduled to leave until 9:40 AM! Since the ride was initially accepted at 8:50 or so, I had plenty of time to make it to 1727 Bedford Ave in Brooklyn, NY. But, Jorge CANCELLED the trip unbeknownst to me! After he called me on my phone to tell me he was in front of FedEx, which by the way, shares a building with the hotel from which I called him! I was staying in the NU Hotel on Smith St around the corner, less than 100 feet from where I was in the lobby at 85 Smith St.

    He was sent to 86 Boerum Place, in my opinion, erroneously by Uber. When he called on my phone, I simply asked him to drive around the corner to pick me up. I had luggage. He then cancelled the trip and then I needed to call for another driver. The second driver was very nice but could not arrive until about 9:18 AM and it took at least 20 min to get to Bedford Ave. So I missed the bus that I was scheduled on and which I had already bought a seat.

    I then had Manson, the other Uber driver that I was forced to call, drop me off on Flatbush Ave in front of the Barclay Center and then I took the subway to Penn Station in Manhattan so that I could then book an Amtrak back to DC so that I would not be charged even more for parking! When I insisted that one of their (Uber's) 'higher ups' look at my case, they (Uber, specifically Swatis) responded as such: "Please know that your concerns have been heard and actioned appropriately internally. With that, we will consider this matter resolved." I have had other issues/problems with Uber in the past but let them go unreported.

Now it expired on 1/2/18 instead of 4/30/18 as originally stated.

    I had 14 rides left. So, they did this on purpose so I don't use the 14 rides. Why give someone this promotion if you are not going to let them use it? I will make sure that this is out there in public for everyone to know. Also, I would rather contact someone at Uber directly, but being that they don't have customer service that can help, I will have to post this everywhere until I get someone to respond.

When the guy arrived, not only was his car visibly dirty, old and making loud noises, when we got in it smelled like my grandfather who owned and worked on a farm with pigs, when he use to come home at the end of the day. Yet, we had very little choice but ride — unless, as in the past, we refused and get charged $24 anyway. Which brings me to my next issue with Uber — there have been times we’ve ordered a car, got downstairs in the time it would take, and the car is gone! We get charged anyway. Unfair and ridiculous.

    My son generally requests our ride and you wouldn’t believe how many times we’ve had to write for refunds because they take money we did not authorize. Most times they give you a very hard time and you can’t reach them easily; the other times you just plain don’t get your money back. This is bull. There should be a class action lawsuit brought against this company. People shouldn’t be forced to ride in dirty and stinking cars just because they can’t afford to lose their money and still have to call someone else to drive them (and that car may be just as bad).

    I recently had two incidents that shaped my many reason not to spend any more money with Uber. In New York, Uber is more popular among the natives than taking a train. Which is great, when dealing with the harsh winter. The issue is the service coming from the Uber drivers and Uber's customer service. Most recently I took a Uber ride to Far Rockaway, NY to Queens, NY which was a $50 dollar Uber pool. The car was very cold and in the beginning the Uber driver was very quiet. Once we got closer the destination the Uber driver began to get confused on what route to take. As I asked to make a right at the next light he turned around while driving and began to yell at me. We were on a parkway in Far Rockaway with cars driving all around us. He began to shout and hits brake twice jerking me from out of the seat. He begins to curse me out and tell me to shut up until we get there or he will make walk.

    Uber refunded the money the next day. A week ago I took an Uber pool to Home Depot. I was only suppose to be charge around $9 dollars for the fare. The Uber car smelled like cigarettes and to cover it up the Uber driver rowed his window completely down on the way to get rid of the smell. Mind you, it's December and it was only 40 degrees outside. The Uber driver received two pickup request and denied both and Uber charged me for a full ride. When I reached out to them they said I still have to pay a full price based of the distance because he didn't pick anyone else up. I can no longer use their service.

    I just received an odd snail mail supposedly from Uber, there's only one problem: I never used Uber, either as a driver or a rider. It came from a "Return Mail Processing", which runs out of a PO box in Claysburg, PA, and suggests I sign up with "experianidworks.com", which itself appears to be a known fraudulent site. If you receive a letter like this, beware. The website wants your SS number, everything.

    I had a horrible experience with the Uber drivers in Miami, the communication/language barriers were awful. I get home from my trip and am charged an unknown $40 fee. Turns out, I left a mess in the back seat of someone's car. This was incredibly inaccurate and I was sent these pics, which were nothing short of a normal backseats appearance. Whatever I was looking at wasn't in my opinion a mess over $1. Very upsetting.

    I am an Uber driver and have been doing it for the past year. Anyone who surpasses 25 Uber requests can cash out the same day, which is called Instant Pay. Lately I have been trying to cash out after working for them, and it doesn't give me an option. I spoke with 2 different supervisors with whom they tell me there is a lot of deliveries paid for through Uber Promotions and caused a red flag on my account preventing me from cashing out money I have earned. The first supervisor advised me to try taking a few rides instead of deliveries, and that should fix the issue and my money will be available the next day. I followed his advice and the next day I was able to cash out.

    Now a few days later, I get another flag on my account preventing me from cashing out. I called and spoke with Kim, an unhelpful supervisor, who is telling me that I need to do more rides to even out the promotion requests and can't tell me how many request I actually have to do. All they are telling me is I need to work more and do more request to cash out. I am already eligible for Instant Pay and should not be having this problem. The supervisor's only answer is I have too many promotion request and have to do more rides without promotions to cash out. She can't answer my question which is how in the world am I suppose to help that someone uses a promotion for their delivery or ride request?

    I am doing Uber in multiple areas and cities and I have no clue if someone is using some type of promotion to pay for their food delivery or ride request. If someone does that, why should that affect the Uber driver? How is that my fault people are using promos for their trips? That is unfair to me as an employee that I am not able to get my money that I earned because you decide to have promotions for riders or deliveries! You should not have promos then any longer. Also how in the world am I suppose to know someone used a promotion when accepting a request to make sure I take more request without promos to even it out to get paid same day as the supervisor said to do? She is telling me I can see if it's a promotion ride when I accept it, but there is nothing showing it's a promo for the drivers at all while doing a request!

    I asked if I could speak to another supervisor and the lady Kim said other supervisors would tell me the same thing and there was no one else to speak to. I asked maybe 10 times to please speak to another supervisor who can take this issue off my account and she continued to repeat herself each time and would not let me speak to someone else. I find it hard to believe a HUGE company like Uber, only has 1 supervisor available. I do not feel these employees know what they are doing. Over the last week I spoke to at least 5 employees and they all gave me different answers about my account. None of the employees I spoke to including supervisors, spoke English well. They all have trouble understanding anything that you say. I have never experienced so much horrible customer service in my life. I am going to look into switching to Lyft to drive.

    I have a friend who does deliveries only for Uber like I was trying to do occasionally like I do and she states she does not have this issue. I have driven for Uber for a year now and have never had this issue until the past 2 weeks. If I am working and making money, I should be able to receive my pay as does anyone else who is eligible for Instant Pay. If Uber wants to keep drivers' money and not pay them out same day because the driver is receiving too many promotion request, then Uber shouldn't allow promotions any longer, or you should give the driver the option to not receive those type of request if it will make you look bad for doing them and not get paid same day because of it.

    It's Christmas time and I should be able to do this on the side and cash out when needed so I can use the money for Xmas like I wanted to do, but instead I'm being treated like nothing all because Uber wants me to work a lot more rides for them in order to even out their promo rides they give me, just to pay me. Uber you are a scam and it's not right to penalize your employees for your own promotions you are giving to riders.

    I have four charges on my account via a debit card that I use maybe 3 times a month. These charges were for services in California while I live all the way across the country and was thousands of miles away from California at the time of the "service." Not only that, but there are charges for Uber Eats all other the place and they don't even come close to serving my area.

    So I attempt to follow protocol and go online and post my issues with unrecognized transactions... thinking surely that can look up the records and say like, "Ok, you were right. Let me give you your STOLEN money back." No way, I get these stupid robot emails as a facade from some dude with a weird name who obviously is not allowed to be a human being and I was then routed back to a series of another set of red tapes.

    After my account was hacked and rides from England were charged to my credit card I decided to cancel my UBER account. UBER refuses to send me a check for an amount of money credited to my account. They claim that they do not issue checks. I had to cancel my credit card because of their customer database was hacked. They never notified their customers that the database was hacked!!! The amount of money they owe me is irrelevant, it is the principle of the matter.

    Decided to give Uber a try so loaded their app. My first "trip" was to return home after dropping my car off at dealer. Evening before I spent 20 minutes setting up my account and unsuccessfully setting my first trip. The next morning it took another frustrating 15 minutes to make the app understand that I wasn't traveling FROM home but TO home. Such an easy and logical event but the idiot app designers at Uber can't see that as an option. I finally left home with anticipation of using Uber for the first time. At the dealer I waited for 45 minutes for an Uber ride that never showed. Took a cab home and on the way got two messages from Uber, the first obviously from another customer asking "are you coming" and the second telling me there were no Uber cars available... this in Denver! Have since deleted the app.

    This morning, I had three charges from the UK (Uber Eats). I receive notifications about purchases per charge, as I was also involved in the Equifax breach. I'm assuming that my Uber account was hacked, as three orders were placed, and my credit card information is saved. I even got a call from a +44 country code, which is the UK, asking where I was and how to deliver my food. To top it off, my card was expired, yet Uber still authorized the charges. I canceled my card with Capital One and wrote two separate emails to Uber. I have YET to receive a response, which is pretty terrible - especially considering the breach that they neglected to tell everyone about not long ago. I like Uber, but will seriously be considering whether I want to trust Uber with my information.

I called the driver right away and could not give her ample directions to get to my dad. She drove around for 5 minutes without me being able to give her directions and my dad could not give her directions, and I got slapped with a cancellation fee. Please fix this issue or be sure to clarify to people order the Uber that they cannot contact the driver if they add another rider.

    TLDR: Uber driver made stop for me, left with my stuff, charged me more and more, never came back and cancelled my trip after 10 minutes. -To Start: DO NOT EVER ADD STOPS. I have used Uber all over the world and asked drivers to make stops many times. This week was the last time. Story: Seattle WA USA. I had a great dinner after shopping and was in downtown Seattle. I requested an UBER, waited for the driver, who had a hard time finding the location I was at, although very easy to find. After he picked me up I asked him to stop by a store so I could grab some water before arriving at my destination. He agreed.

    We found a store, he parked in front, and I told him, "Wait here. It will take me 2 minutes." He said, "There may be traffic and I have to go around the block." I said, "Sure, just be sure to meet me right here." He agreed. I ran in, came out 1 minute later and he wasn't there. I opened the APP, looked to see his location and it seemed he was circling the block. Suddenly he made a strange turn and started driving away from me. I tried to call, no answer, message, no answer, he then ended my trip after racking up the charges.

    Worst part?? No one in UBER can ever help me. I have talked to roughly 10 people all who don't read history and repeat things. They said "they will restrict his driving" until my items are returned. They then said the items were returned to their office. I asked for photographic evidence, none provided and a sudden email stating that they aren't responsible for items left in a car after a trip ends!!! I was left! Abandoned then he racked up charges and stole my stuff.

    I am waiting on them to reply to my latest messages, and if unsuccessful will end up hiring a lawyer which will cost more than me just buying what I lost. I hate UBER now after years of using them. I will never use them again unless my company pays and I will never trust them again. Sure maybe I should have kept my items in my hand, but I have never been deceived and robbed like this in my life.

She called the Uber for us, and upon exiting the car I quickly realized I left my purse (including my wallet with my driver’s license, credit card, debit card, etc.) in the backseat of the car. The only way you are able to get in contact with anyone is through the app, and only my friend can contact the driver as it was through her account. It has now been over 24 hours since the ride and attempting to contact the driver and I have not been able to get in contact with the driver nor any kind of representative from Uber (as there is no general number to call to speak with a representative).

In just a couple of weeks it'll be 90 days. My background check last year took 3 hours and it was completed.

    Uber and Checkr refuse to give me any information regarding my background check and why it is taking so long. They both tell me that it's a delay in information from the courthouse. I have asked them both numerous times to tell me what courthouse they're waiting on so that I can get an attorney involved and find out why my information is being held up.

I contacted the number listed next to bank charge only to be told to go thru the Help on the app and then phone disconnected.

    Went thru the app and nothing specific for overcharging; however I selected something. Standard response, "We will check into it." Several hours later I explained I have proof and they finally agreed to refund a portion. No discount or future pass. No personal customer service. My overall experience is leading me back to renting and driving myself. You can't overcharge me then give me an email and expect me to do business with you again.

Also I have been noticing that in the last few weeks I have be quoted a rate, charge the rate, then refunded that rate, and charged a higher rate every trip. The saddest part of all is that in Edmonton Uber is the safest way to travel outside of the bus. I wouldn't get into a cab in this city ever and now I don't ever want to get into an Uber.

    So to this I take action saying that I was going to track the plate # so I could contact him. Next this driver (Cristian) send me a pic with a number telling me that he believe that was the contact info for Gustavo, owner of the car. So I called, no answer, send messages, and let know Cristian that I couldn't reach Gustavo... Then he says that Gus was working, long story short, Gustavo owner of the car used for Uber called me and I explain the situation. To this he says that he had to call the police on Cristian because he wouldn't answer calls, messages or nothing and he wasn't paying his commission for using the car to work... ok! So Uber support just keep saying relax, “I am sorry we can't do anything because they are contractors.” Really?! So Cristian stole my stroller ($500) and it's all good.
