Similar issue happened to me. BUT they accused me of rape and kidnap and also gave the dude my number and he was harassing me 😭. IT'S ALL recorded on dashcam, Can you connect me to this guy's lawyer pls? 🙏
NYC Lyft got deactivated by Lyft over a month ago cuz of false allegation of not helping passenger loading groceries
What is your email Sergio?
Yes I was Deactivated January 17 2024 and permanently Deactivated January 18 2024
"So further fraudulent passenger reports like this, will cause you to be deactivated". They have concrete evidence that every single complaint were lies, yet they stand firm with their threats of unjust deactivation. Unbelievable. Good for him for suing. We should all follow his lead.
Gig rocket does a good job
Hahaha that's what they deserve
Just happened to me I drive a black lincoln limo they complained my motor was knocking and I was swaying left to right. It was a homeless family living in best Western what a bad joke! Lyft sent me down a crappy back street with numerous pot holes and man holes 4" s above the paved surface. Such nonsense. All for a lost 6 bucks!! Fuc lyft
I plan to sue. I requested a review and just like Lyft, they claim the review and refused to reactivate my account.
@@sergioSMTMC1I doubt that
It’s amazing that billion dollar companies are so poor at driver support (The only way they can make money) is THERE DRIVERS!!🤬 Thanks Sergio and Michael
Thanks for the support, share the link
I've gotten temporarily deactivated before because a passenger lied and said i was intoxicated. Crazy part is i never drink a day in my life.
Did u get back ur account
My lyft account is temporarily hold because passanger made false report, what should I do ?
Same thing happened to me
I, too, have never had a drop of alcohol in my life as well!
The sad thing is there's absolutely no consequences for a passenger that accuses a driver for whatever, EVEN IF there's video proving otherwise. Uber/Lyft know which passenger it was that made the false allegation, but because they wanna protect the privacy of the riders, there's no way you can know for sure who it was and what they said to get you deactivated. That's some BS! For as long as these two ride share platforms have been around, you would think they would know that people will make up stuff to get out of paying a fare, and you would think they'd already have a fix for stuff like that. How about first verifying if the allegation is even true or real before placing a drivers account on HOLD or whatever?
That happened to me once
Just got blocked due to a claim i was under the influence... the ride was 1.5hrs long and felt like it went great. My only guess is they are trying to get a free ride at my life's expense!
I worked for Lyft for 7 yrs 140, 000 rides with 5 stars rating. A woman reported that I assaulted her, which is the ultimate lie. They deactivated my account.
Me too bro same amount of time also
Did u had a camera?
I've sued Lyft 3 times in small claims. They didn't show up all three times. I've collected on two of the cases and am in process of collection on the third.
How did you get them to pay? What did you do to get them to pay? I kneed to know.
@@MrBirdman123 I used a lawyer that specializes in collecting. I don't know what she did.I just worked a deal out with her and let her do her thing. Every state is different. Find a lawyer who specializes in collecting in the state the case was in.
Thank you for sharing! What state are you in?
I can’t find their address to sue them. They’re in San Francisco but what is their suite number?
@@actualcompassion1 185 Berry St Suite 400
There should be compensation if found innocent. Also they need to warn the customer that if they make a false claim their information will be available to the accused drive so they can sue them.
I tried to get the customer's names when they gave negative reviews, and Lyft will never say who they are
I was accused of making racists comments and that I assaulted the rider. The rider beat the hell out of my car because she wanted her 10$ back. Lyft deactivated my account permanently with in a few hours without so much as allowing me the chance to prove my innocence. Some guy named John.
I just bought a dash cam.
I filed a police report and I'm looking for camera footage from businesses in the area, so far I can't find any. My God I'm a 59 year old grandmother. I've never sued anyone and I could use some help.
How can a driver be deactivated for strictly following the rules set by the company? Stand your ground Michael. Best of luck!
Thanks for the support, share the link please
Happened to me on Uber and Lyft same thing
@@11bravo80 That is just wrong.
@@brendaplunkett8659 yeah I'm also a 100% disabled veteran with disabled veteran plates nobody cares
I am a full-time woman driver in Chicago and got deactivated for racist allegations. Lyft did not allow me to defend myself before they issued a “permanent deactivation.” I contacted a lawyer, but the lawyer did not respond. So, I want to do what Michael did and file a small claim. We must take action against these injustices and get as much money as we can from Lyft.
Yes mam! I stand in solidarity with you! A win for you is a win for ALL! Get that money and go on a mice shopping spree afterwards lol 🙌🏾
There needs to be consequences for riders (or even drivers) who make false allegations like that. I mean, if Uber/Lyft is gonna automatically take the side of the rider no matter what happened, then why even ask us? If the rider said it happened, then it happened exactly as they said it did. That's some BS! EVEN IF we have video evidence that says the exact opposite of what we're being accused of, they (Uber/Lyft) ain't trying to hear any of it. But you know who will listen? Your lawyer!😅 So I hope you get paid, Veronica hoyos!
Did you find out how? I just got deactivated also I’m from Chicago and I need help also
I was recently permanently deactivated by Lyft for supposedly making fun of someone's religion (never happened). This followed temporary deactivations for supposedly smelling of alcohol (i dont drink) and for cancelling a ride over someone race (i cancelled because i had an emergency at home and the cancellation took place before the pickup so i had no idea what the passengers race was. I had done over 7000 rides driving PT mostly on weekends during bar hours over a 6 year period and had a rating of 4.95+ and was a Lyft Platinum driver. Fortunately, i also drive for Uber, and since i have a FT job outside rideshare, i wasnt left completely out in the cold. But it still irks me how recklessly these companies just use people without any regard to their well being.
I got that same issue bro but all thanks to Spark_Techz who was able to help me out he can help you out bro
It is time you file a lawsuit in small claims. If we all do that, Lyft must respond to drivers' petitions to have hearings with the accuser and the driver present.
Here is the deal on Lyft as a fact confirmed with support in writing. If a passenger makes a complaint they get the ride at a greatly reduced rate or free. So yes there is financial incentive for passengers to complain. Also I don’t make jokes with passengers, also no religion, and no politics. All smiles and positive conversations.
Agree, thanks for the support, share the link
Same here I don't get into politics religion or anything
Nah, It's my car, I do what I want. If I get deactivates, so be it. I will sue.
Have you spoken to lyft and uber executives about false passenger complaints?
I am an extrovert, and I like to speak about all topics. Usually, I ask a question like Do you think Trump will win? And let them talk. It makes the ride go faster. I don't feel I would like driving if I had to be silenced. It is like being in a dictatorship.
We drivers need more of SpiraTech in our daily lives
I was deactivated from Lyft for discrimination against a man because of his orientation. I live in Palm Springs CA and went through the entire gay pride month 🗓 in Palm Springs 🌴 ☀ 🌵 🌴 and zero complaints. I had almost 1900 rides and over 300 above and beyond ratings. I was a 5 star platinum driver. I have a dashcam to dispute any claims yet they refuse to allow me to defend myself. Here is the kicker.. I am a gay man. So tell me how this makes any sense???
If you get fired, due to a customer complaint, we should be able to have the ability to get their full name and all lawsuit on them
Got deactivated for suspected fraudulent activity and i have no idea what they are talking about drive over six years on thier platforms
my friend has over 10,000 trips with lyft over 8 years of work in NYC and one long job a new passenger falsely stated to lyft that he made a comment on a minor in the car, he was immediately deactived and Lyft wont listen to his side of the story.
Just like me today crazy
Took off from Lyft on the first day of the pandemic in March 2020 after driving 4 years in Vegas. When Vegas casinos was still closed in July 2020 I get a email from Lyft saying my account has too many complaints and they were going to deactivate me. LMAO, 7,000 rides, 4 years, 100% acceptance, rating, and a 5.0 rating and I get the activated when I haven’t even drove for five months. Lyft will screw you over, just give them time, they will find a way.
That's Lyft for you
Uber is same shit.
Hearing everything that has happened to this guy is one of the major reasons why I'm starting my own black car service. I am so over all the low life people I keep picking up that don't give two shits about my $80,000 car nor my personal space leaving trash, food smashed in the carpet, eating and vaping in my car without even asking... The money that these companies are paying us drivers are definitely not worth all that bullshit. We need to be regulated already! I may be moving on to bigger and better things but all the drivers need fair regulation because we are not employees and we are working our asses off for not enough return. Realistically all the drivers are upside down making less money than their mileage. That's not right!
youre exactly right. I just got permanently deactivated from a false accusation and I didnt even care. Ive been taking a beating financially ever since gas went through the roof and I simply kept driving because I like the 'work when I want' aspect. But I needed this deactivation to kick my butt in a better direction. So, oddly enough, the deactivation was a blessing. It forced me to do something different instead of just wanting to do something different.
Michael can also mail a copy of the judgment to Lyft's Legal Team. The address is on the website under Terms of Service and Privacy. I took a company to small claims in which I purchased a spa package that they refused to fulfill because they were going out of business in 1 week. I criticized them for selling me the package fully knowing that they were closing. They refused to refund, they ran me around with phone calls and many letters, but once I won my court case, I send a copy of the summary judgement to their legal team. I got an email a few days later confirming that they were issuing a check.
So, Michael, send your summary judgment to Lyft's Legal Name, the legal paperwork. Doesn't matter if it's sent by the court, you send it, too, along with a letter requesting payment be fulfilled and reactivation.
Thanks so much for this info. I am going to sue their behinds as well. 🙏🏾
He could go after the passenger. He’d have to file against them as John/Jane Doe, then subpoena Uber/Lyft for their information & amend his suit to their actual name once U/L respond. If they don’t respond then I’d ask the court to hold them in contempt & fine them another $14,200/day 🤷🏼♂️
AMEN!
I definitely will do that.
are you a lawer?
@@mustaqeemhumayoun6933To Quote Mr Carter, I ain’t passed the bar but I know a little bit..
Everything he saying is correct! I deal with this daily and been threatened by uber to deactivate my account. I have video of everything! Luckily I have a CDL and in the process of purchasing a box truck to get back on the road making big bucks.
Great job, work towards your plan B
Why would anyone drive Lyft on rideshare? You be better off driving regular taxi and get paid more too.
I’m doing deliveries now but I sure miss driving a real 🚕
I just got deactivated a week ago been trying to reach out to them there’s no number to call and when you do get in touch with someone they read from a script and can’t help because they aren’t from “that department” do you guys ever think why everytime you call these “human” representatives they are always non American…. These rideshare companies are based in america…. Why everytime someone picks up they sound like they are being held gunpoint aka sex trafficked victims…. Something is definitely up with their customer service lines Uber included…. They are trafficking these call reps I just recently started to notice this. They never have any knowledge of their positions
They literally just deactivated my account for allegedly uploading false insurance credentials. Which is total BS. This video has a lot of useful information.
I'd love to find whoever it was that got the idea to create an outlet for gig workers to seek legal redress for lying customers. Wish this option was around when Lyft suspended me over the false accusations of some dope head. They lost me as both a driver and a customer that day. Oh, well.
Our idea? Share the link please
Anytime a person is rude I always report it to uber.
Same! You as a driver are getting ahead of them trying to report you. I call immediately after a rider is rude if the ride ends up completed. There was a rider who came to my car last weekend who started off completely rude, and he was literally going 1min up the street. He was probably frustrated that no one was taking him based on his 4.77 rating. It was literally just him and he opened my passenger door.
I said, "Sir, if you don't mind, can you kindly close the door since its raining and cold outside. I'm happy to roll down the window to speak with you." He slammed the door and said, "Forge it." I'm like, "Ohhhh-kkkk." So I sat there to wait out the 5min timer, and he came back to the car wondering if I would take him.
I said, "I'm happy to take you but you started off the conversation rude and in a bad mood. I don't know if its the rain or you were waiting a long time to be matched with me, but your not going far, so there is no reason to be disrespectful. But its up to you - you can choose to get in or choose to wait for me to cancel so that you're matched with another driver. And your behavior was caught on camera because everything is being audio and video recorded."
He closed the door LOL! That was my answer.
Since last year, they turned cold and I noticed it. They have been in decline and going bankrupt. That's the reason they just don't care anymore. Hence, there have been no responses in the last many months. I never had any suspension, nor complaints in my 7 years with Lyft, 5 rating, numerous compliments, and I was deactivated this March after false accusation by pissed off low life. I have gotten responses, though, but just terse and curt, and that they could not put me back on the platform. I am not sure if I am interested much but very much would like to clear my name on a matter of principle.
go to gigrocket.com, tell them Sergio sent you or take them to arbitration or small claims court like this driver did
The worse of the worse rides on lyft
I have recently been permanently deactivated from Lyft after just one alleged "discrimatory behavior" claim which was an ouright lie. I held Platinum Benefits and was removed with 5.0 rating with over 5700 rides. On my Uber account I have been blocked for well over a year, which is legitimately my fault in terms of the Covid Safety Measures I loosely complied with back then, which still yielded a couple of false or flakey claims during those times against me. My Uber rating at blockage was Diamond Tier, 4.96 and 100% acceptance rate with 17,000+ rides in Chicago on overnights. Either way Uber and Lyft could care less. Its such a joke that drivers are at the mercy of a lousy robot in most cases of fraud and slander from passengers. No hard feelings but will definitely consider the small claims approach in both cases. Good video and keep seeking justice.
I got that same issue bro but all thanks to Spark_Techz who was able to help me out he can help you out bro
This just happened to me on Thursday... it happened twice.. I let it ago the first time... now I'm losing out in Thousands of dollars
Uber an Lyft did it to me as well, Uber 3 min trip woman in Waco TX said I touched her inappropriately which was false, Lyft said I discriminated against them which was a lie yet still deactivated was a platinum driver on both platforms a year at both with excellent reviews and deactivated permanently from both including now can't drive for door dash cause of Lyft deactivation
This same thing happened to me...I am still currently deactivated by Lyft. The only difference is that I believe the guy that was in my car was about to rob me because he was hiding in the back of my car and I almost hit him by mistake when I put the car in reverse. It's been 8 months of trying to convince Lyft to believe me but they won't reactivate my account. I called their safety support but they couldn't care less about my safety.
I was deactivated permanently on Uber eats and lost the appeal. I had a 98% satisfaction rate. The reason this happened is because I live in Las Vegas and people staying in casinos order food and we aren't allowed up to the rooms. So they have to meet us at the Uber drop off. 1 out of 10 customers refuse to do this. So I called customer service and then they cancel the order. Because this happened too many times I was permanently removed and now can't pay my rent this month. I'll be $200 short
damn
Great interview Sergio! Keep the pressure on.
We need more legislators and Judges in Sacramento on OUR side, all gig workers (i gave up rideshare and only do deliveries) but consume most vlogs!
Thanks for the support, share the link please
I got permanently deactivated in less than 24hrs in June 2023. A rider told Lyft I threatened them with a firearm for not tipping. Only issue I had with someone was that they were vaping in my car without my permission. They also tried to say I had multiple violations which was a lie. I'm still going through a back and forth with them.
Yup I had a rider say she would tell Lyft I sexually assaulted her because I didn't take the freeway due to major traffic
Go to small court
I am experiencing this now. Got deactivated falsely for driving under the influences. Passenger stated I had alcoholic beverage in my car which was false. The crazy thing is I am part of the rental program in which I went over my allotted miles and they still charged me .
I just got blocked for the same claim... waiting ubers response. Total BS!
@@Ben-qm9zq I am done with them
Good interview and lots of good advice here. Thank you for sharing.
Thank SpiraTech, for your honest job well done, I can’t forget about you
Thank you. A lady gave me a cash tip one day and said she always tips in cash. This wasn't too long after I'd noticed something. So, I spun around and asked her how she knew that. She told me that she had family that drove and they didn't get their tips when she left them in the app.
I’m so glad I sued Lyft and got a great settlement
Wow! How did you sue them? Can you give me any direction? I am in South Florida. Did you do small claims court or did you do a regular lawsuit?
Yes, I am a victim of wrongful deactivation I was never given the chance and there was no transparency that Uber violated my constitutional right,I was fired from Uber I’m so Frustrated I have 35,000 trips , I maintained zero cancellation 100% pick up rate as Platinum Uber pro, now deactivated for good, no-help no support , how I wish I could have sued Uber for my wrongful deactivation help ❤please
Great support for all of us drivers. Thank you my friends
We are all in your support!! It has happened to me before. They said that my car smelled like Marijuana. I never never tried it in my life and she was my first passenger of the day. Deactivated for 24 hours 😢
Thank you for the support, share the link please
Most customers complain on me because i wont take minors or people without car seats.
Awesome video, awesome rideshare guys. Michael is a great example of what not and what to do. These companys should gave class action lawsuits going on right now. This is down right WRONG.
Thanks for the support, share the link
There are many other issues! Drivers needs to unite and fight against these wrongdoers! In every state we must create an independent union unrelated to UBER and Lyft staff! In California, all the prices went up due to inflation except UBER and Lyft who lower their prices from January 1st. The list goes on! This why we need to create an independent union in every state and work together!
Agreed
Very good idea. How to get started with a union for independent drivers? I'd driven taxis in many cities and when Uber came, Uber in two cities San Francisco and Baltimore MD, I knew for sure that "getting transportation workers together is impossible".

I got temporarily deactivated because a rider claimed I was under the influence, trying to get a free ride. I need help please
I got deactivated tonight at midnight right in the middle of a shift, no explanation. I have a dash cam of all my rides and I offered to them, but they are ignoring me.
I sympathize. I just got deactivated for “alleged unsafe driving” which is completely baloney bc I always drive safely. Karma will bite Lyft and Uber in the ass. Praying for you
SpiraTech es muy recomendable, hermano. Me arregló la cuenta hace 2 meses.
@@VivK-mt7kj I hired an attorney and entered into Arbitration with Uber and the Passenger who filed these false allegations against me. The Rider has been notified that I intent to sue her for Defamation leading to the loss of income. As per my agreement with Uber I must first Arbitrate all legal matters through them. It's a pain in the butt, but I intent on seeing it through. It had taken me two weeks just to find out what I am being accused of and by whom. My Dashcam Evidence shows that none of what she claimed ever happened. This woman is so DUCKED, she never thought that this would come back to bite her, but I am very determined to see her punished emotionally and financially.
Around 2019 when they started a tip system available. Uber stolen $50 tip Passenger showed me. Next day it was not there. After multiple calls to customer service they paid it back
This cat has 9 lives!!!! 9 deactivations, just insane.
Yep😂
Got my first DUI false accusation today. Over 3000 passenger trips and nearly 2,000 food deliveries since 2015, 4.99 rating, and Uber Pro Diamond. Pretty sure the trip in question was one of the cheapo ones anyway. After reasoning for a while Uber, took a breathalyzer test which returned 0.00% alcohol, of course. Thank you for posting this man’s story. I hope it works out well for me, but what stings is that I literally looked at dash cams for the first time last night.
Uber robbing us drivers for tips . I’m saving and documenting all deliveries and getting a lawyer and suing!
Im suing lyft now in the state of washington for deactivating me after 5 false claims by passengers.
If I win, they will have to pay me for all the driving time I missed for 2 years, since I filed the lawsuit.
I want them to pay me gross. Which is about double.
It would be nice if I got compensation, but I mostly just want my account restored.
I don't have dashcam evidence of the 5 false claims, but neither does lyft or the passengers. It's my word vs theirs. They are making a claim that I broke the terms, they have to provide evidence of their claim. "Passengers said x" isn't evidence because passengers are financially incentivised to lie and get their money back.
I have recently started using a dash cam, what do you prefer, starting and stopping after each trip to keep trips separate, or keep cam on continuous for each shift that day. Thanks
Once your 30 days up you go to the sheriffs main office with your judgement claim hand them all the paperwork the sheriff office will contact lyft let them know how much and they have 7 days to pay or sheriff will show up to lyft office and collect the amount owed
I got deactivated by Lyft bc I cancelled many times in 2017
They Lyft send me warnings but I was very new didn’t take seriously and they kicked me out of platform till now. I tried many times office/chart but they said it’s final deactivation. What to do to get my account back? Thanks so much!
I was called by Felix from the safety tean at Uber. She heard my side, that i didnt threaten a rider, and decided to deactivate me because of the false activation.
File a lawsuit in small claims. You have nothing to lose.
Nice job! Unjust de-activations happen all of the time! These companies have zero regard for the humans that actually do the work!
This is so wrong from lyft. All lyft has to do is look at the proof from Michael. But I get it, lyft wants to get rid of drivers who can think for themselves. They want drivers who will accept all ride requests.

Uber never shows me the picture of the person. Is this new?
Lyft does if they have one, Lyft deactivated him I times
Drivers let's make our own app and screw uber /lyft . We all having same issues. Very cheap people cannot afford even $5 for a trip . I been doing for 7 years. I am so happy for you bro good job . We all drives should sue them have a sold profile this guy

There should be no difficulty enforcing the judgment against Lyft. The still have 2B in cash reserves. The will probably appeal to delay payment.
Agree
I work for big corporations and everything moves very slowly. So a few thousand is not a concern for Lyft. They will not appeal.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Michael. Knowledge is power. I'm a little late to this game. Much appreciated.
I was deactivated for maybe 12 hours because someone said I was driving under the influence. I asked if it was someone inside my vehicle or someone driving behind me. Because that day I had 6 teenagers that I gave a ride to at 3:30am in my cities "ghetto" who I am certain would have attempted to rob me had I not had dash cams in and outside my vehicle and had engaged them in conversation. Or if it was a pathetic psychopathic ex of a distressed woman, I rescued, at the airport, after she was assaulted by said psychopath. As I was on my way to an already scheduled pickup from the airport. Of course they didn't disclose "for the customers safety"
I told them I didn't care if it was someone inside my vehicle but please just tell me if it was someone from outside, because if it was, my life could be in danger. They still refused no matter how many times I said that would put me in danger. Fyi at the time of this accusation I was over 9 months sober. After telling Lyft that and asking them if they wanted the camera footage they immediately put me back on active. Didn't miss my normal shift hours. And I do believe it was the psycho who called.
Customer can / should be sued for defamation & lost wages. People lie do much. It’s ridiculous 🙄
Wow, very inspiring! WTG MICHAEL I wish you luck!!!! KEEP MAKING US PROUD AND KEEP ON ROLLING!!! BE SAFE EVERYONE AND DON'T BE INTIMIDATED BY THE BULL THEY FEED US!!! TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR ALL DRIVERS !!!!

Why you use caps? We can read
Lyft sucks. Uber is bad but lyft driver pay sucks and then they want drivers to say yes to breaking all the TOS and allow customer to lie and mess up your vehicle. One thing i would suggest is activate the phone cameras in lyft and/or uber apps if you drive for them again so they can see on their own app quickly on what occured.
I think when customers send notices claiming driver did something, then the customer should be paused with using the app service until a true investigation is completed. This will cause those who use it all the time, to not put false statements in because if a driver truly traumatized a rider by something the driver said or did, then the customer wouldn't care or want to use app.
And they should call it 'pause' or 'temporary restriction' because they are changing the meaning of a true 'deactivation'. To me, deactivation means you fired. Don't fire someone until you have done a true investigation, just whacky how a driver is labeled guilty before any investigation..smh
Like who fires and rehires like that several (9) times...craziness...smh
Good comments, thanks for the support, share the link please
Horrible, glad you had footage! I would never invest in either platforms, after knowing how they operate.
👍👍
I got deactivated today for “discriminatory” remarks in person, then an email that said that I texted discriminatory remarks (make up your mind Lyft) to a rider. Neither of which ever happened. I asked for evidence, I got nothing.
I’m a 5 star driver, never had an issue. Then this happened. I’ll be contacting a lawyer.
I'm looking for lawyers to deal with both Uber and Lyft, may years couldn't find one willing to represent me, there are dime a dozen lawyers to take accident cases but none will take my case, if you find one, let me know. Good luck.
How the hell can they not have real people we can talk to?
They have indians
Salute to Michael! Curious if he ever got back on with Lyft?!
😅 i think this driver has little bit of issues. However , that issue isn't enough to not to drive as a Rideshare driver just as everybody else . And as a proof of it he did not do anything wrong but followed what they told us to do to a T.
And he has full rights to back to its platform. This is almost human rights violation issue that Lyft is violating. What a Shame.
Agreed
This just happened to me. And was instantly deplatformed by Lyft and Uber.
I cant even get a lawyer in NC to call me back.
Spark_Techz will be able to help you out on this bro
@@katemiko-2913 @Spark_Techz would love some help!! Thanks
I was deactivated today for the second time from lyft because of a false report. My very last message to lyft. I told them moving forward. I cannot recommend any new drivers to drive for lyft. I just can't.
So nice to hear that we can fight back. Going to small claims court tomorrow!
Great decision
My husband will be going to small claim’s because of this! We have scoured the internet for how to fight unjust deactivation and came across your video! The accusation was for visiting a riders house off the lyft app and staying there and commenting on her breast. All lies.. it’s the principal even if neither of us work for the company. My husband in particular has been driving for uber/lyft since 2018 and has a 5.0 rating. You can check both of our backgrounds both clean and has to be clean for working with children because I’m a teacher.
I’m trying to do the same thing, to sue them for false accusations. Can you walk me through the claim and how much money did u sue them
Rise shares are trash there’s Over time at my job and I’m trying to make it to work early and people accept the ride drive around then cancel the ride and I get no compensation for it and I have to wait for another driver
Great advice Sergio be on multiple platforms know how to work them and hustle so you can still have a livelihood ill say life without dd in my market is hard it is the dominant app
Agree 100%
I want to sue them
Do what he did
I got blocked earlier this year for reporting a rider getting in my car with alcohol and the agent sent me an email saying they were sorry i had a bad experience with the driver Hersi, who was actually the rider.
One thing everyone is forgetting...a lawsuit by a $5 customer will cost rideshare providers a lot more money than 1000's of deactivated drivers.
Thats why deactivations are nearly immediate and investigations are never transparent.
"Customer always correct" to the exreme.
A lawsuit from all the 1000 deactivated drivers will cost Lyft more money than a lawsuit from a rider. So, let's start with the cases now
Wow great interview and hope I never have to use the info . 8 weeks geez
The sad thing is there's absolutely no consequences for a passenger that accuses a driver for whatever, EVEN IF there's video proving otherwise. Uber/Lyft know which passenger it was that made the false allegation, but because they wanna protect the privacy of the riders, there's no way you can know for sure who it was and what they said to get you deactivated. That's some BS! For as long as these two ride share platforms have been around, you would think they would know that people will make up stuff to get out of paying a fare, and you would think they'd already have a fix for stuff like that. How about first verifying if the allegation is even true or real before placing a drivers account on HOLD or whatever?
I got that issue bro but Spark_Techz got mine fixed bro he can help you out
@@gigspytechz1I got deactivated this past Tuesday with a false accusation. I know exsctly who it was and what they said about me. I have been trying to get a reply back from Lyft for the last 4 days and nothing. What can I do?
One thing about Car Seats or Booster seats for children. The law is confusing and has changed. I tried to look up the car seat law and it varies per State - all I will say is it is murky at best. I agree that we need to hold PAX responsible for the car seats.
Uber and Lyft put out documentation regarding all their guidelines. Just print it out, and use it against them
@@brkitdwn not if the pax commits fraud
Agreed
Once the judge gives you a judgment and the person or company you're trying to obtain the lawsuit from if they don't show or pay file a writ of execution. This will send a warrant out for their arrest and bring them to court whereas the judge will want to find out why they didn't pay
Fairly certain that's nit the way it works. If you owed the court you will be required to show up to another court date to explain why but not a private party not paying you gott file some other paperwork that has to do with garnishment or whatever verbiage they use in the case if corporation
@@joshuaolmstead5225 well I'm certain that's the way it works, if the judge Awards you and the other party did not show up, or does not pay what you're awarded a writ of execution will your next step, in order for them to come to court or find out why they have not paid been-there-done-that.
@@joshuaolmstead5225 A writ of execution is a process issued by the court directing the U.S. Marshal to enforce and satisfy a judgment for payment of money. (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 69).
AMEN! @warrencrawley8300
I did uber and lyft full time in the pandemic but now I went back to my full time CDL job..However if bored home on weekends I still do a couple of rides for extra bucks
That's what they're good for, a total side hustle
@@sergioSMTMC1 very right..We as rideshare drivers risk it all for not even a single benefit..That is the reason I saw it not being a full time source of income because of job security.And more so the pricing model fell drastically ever since the lock down was lifted..No more better paying promotions as it was which makes it hard for a driver to reach that break even point.Get a job with benefits and if still interested keep it as your side gig
@@ambrosebarigyemukiga great comment
This happened with me with Uber how do I get in contact with them so it won’t stay on my record
It’s probably to prevent from having to pay medical benefits,
Is this happening only to full time drivers?
And are this service suspensions affecting the pay of medical benefits?
He's not in CA
Never will understand why underage people have Lyft and Uber accounts. And the number of people without a car seat is ridiculous. You say something and they curse you out!
This people did that to me too. It’s been three days. They did the same thing what they did to him for no reason if you got time talk to me I need help.!!!
I would have taken this to an employment attorney and got a consultation
Let us know if you do that
I have but it wasn't with Liber or Lyft it was another company I used to work for. But I would give it a shot the attorney can make the decision, normally they will take your case without charging you unless you win
I'm afraid I have to disagree with seeking an attorney. I hired them before, and after they collected money from my employer, they kept 80% of it. What do you do next? Fight your attorney?
@@veronicahoyos-leonard2459 I don't know who you had as an attorney by law there are only allowed to take a third or 33%
I was deactivated from lfty for no reason. I am now on uber.
Great show. United drivers are better for everyone, passengers, drivers & R.S. Companies. For we have voices as well. 👏
Thanks for the support, share the link please
Lyft is also currently threatening me.. I'm a 5 star driver with 1.3 yrs experience with them but I've had some stupid customers as of late get into my car drunk acting up and make complaints about me but my rating is still 5 stars and very good.. They also keep sending me $3 order which if I take will make less than $10 an hour... So since I keep declining all these trash orders they are threatening to deactivate me..
Man I’m going through this unjust deactivation now smh I hate them and have removed the app from my phone . In my car they said failed identity lol but the kicker is I’ve been a driver on Lyft since 2019 🤷🏽♀️ make it make sense smh
