Welp, just lost my Uber account because someone has complained that I threatened him/her and engaged in unsafe behavior.
I didn't even know what rider, didn't have any encounters like that, but I cancelled on a rider when he was arms reach of my car because he took too long(more than 5 min) to come out.
Not sure if it was him, but Uber isn't telling me which trip or if I cancelled or took the trip.

Can't I sue these people for false accusations and lost wages?
I mean I will have to sue Uber to get the info on the rider first.

You lost the second you applied for uber...

That was your mistake.

Good luck with wherever your life takes you.

I rate your chances of reactivation at medium low.

It was probobly the guy you canceled on at arms length, it was a revenge reporting.

For everyone else BUT the OP if you physically see them you might as well just take them, for EXACTLY this reason

To the OP...

Sorry bro...

And this is why UberX drivers are employees, not contractors. You were fired without cause. MAKE SURE YOU FILE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT

 

[JD Fernando]

Most likely it was likely that guy

 

[Lissetti]

See this kind of stuff is why I'm feeling less and less like the dreaded Union is a bad thing.

 

[Buckiemohawk]

Ask them for a detailed report and that you will be going to your lawyer to seek defamation charges

 

[SEPA_UberDude]

I didn't think the driver nor pax could rate and/or report the other on a cancelled trip. And why would you wait for a pax only to cancel on them when they were about to get in your car?

Get a dashcam

Hopefully uber will reactivate you. Keep emailing them for updates. This can happen to anyone of us. Did you look at the rating of the rider prior to accepting? Do you remember what it was?

 

[louvit]

I also say it was him, but it does seem like you were trying to teach him a lesson and people don't like that. Looks like you screwed with the wrong person...Sorry anyway.

You might be mad , but you have no case.

There's no one to sue. You're an independent contractor who had their contract terminated. No body, no crime.

What story did you tell uber?

 

[Hogg]

Tell them you have a dashcam and ask them what time the incident happened so you can review the footage/send them the video/post it on youtube.

 

[LA_Native]

That really sucks.
Stories like these make me less likely to go out. It's been over a month since I last drove for them.

Good luck.

 

[JD Fernando]

For one, I didn't know it was the pax approaching my car, I hit cancel as soon as the timer was up. I saw him throwing his arms up as I drove away and that's when I knew it was him.
Anyway, I have asked Uber to tell me which trip to sign the document they sent me to give my side of the story. Problem is, a covo like that never happened. I usually keep my mouth shut when I have a pax. So idk who reported this false claim.

Also there was another cancelation by a pax because I couldn't find where she was. She was on the phone with me at the time she said she is going to cancel this. Not sure if she was the one that made a false claim.

Also Uber won't give me a detailed report to "protect privacy and security" of the rider unless I go through court

 

[louvit]

Was this your first incident? IF so talk to them nicely and explain that it was a misunderstanding. I had a guy claim that I demanded cash for a ride. I posted that story a while ago. I spoke to uber and explained that the guy was huge and drunk at 9am and he tipped me 25.00 because he turned a 5 minute trip into a 20 minute trip because he forgot his wallet, had to stop at the bank...etc. Uber said do not worry about it I even got the extra money for the extended trip

Just keep emailing uber. Eventually you will be reactivated. I had many situations where the rider was yelling and waving as I've driven past them and cancelled. Yesterday I accepted a pax with a 4.32 rating by mistake. I arrived at the destination and waited a minute, then kept driving. I saw him in my back window waving his hands and yelling. He called me 4 times and I did not answer. Eventually he cancelled and I got a cancellation fee.

Later on I arrived at destination and was greeted by a family of 5. The dad was well over 6 feet tall and the youngest kid looked about 8 yrs old. I'm not going to have an 8 yr old sit on someone's lap in my Prius. Rather than "educate" the rider as to why I won't take them, I just told them I need to turn around and then drove off and cancelled "do not charge rider."

 

[Salah Deaibes]

The ride you cancel can't harm you because he or she don't have you any more on them apps.. look in you closet if I might say that what you have beside that

This doesn't make sense. Contractors can't be fired?
