I think you guys are attempting to defraud what is effectively a great American company and creator of jobs. Uber is great and gave you an opportunity, but you had to be greedy. No one sues someone who cares about them. Instead of attempting to rip off Uber why don't you reflect on your arbitration agreement and stop threatening to sue.

Accountants don't make enough to afford lawyers anyway.

UBER HAS DISCONNECTED NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS FOR HAVING BIG AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO BE PAID.
THEY AGGRESSIVELY REQUEST YOU TO PROMOTE, BRING DRIVERS, MAKE THEM DRIVE, GENERATE UBER REVENUE, BUT SCREW YOU THE REFERRER, IF YOU COMPLAIN THEY MAKE AN EXCUSE TO WARN OF DISCONNECTION (VIOLATION OF TERMS, REFERRAL FRAUD, WHATEVER… ) MY ACCOUNT GOT DISCONNECTED FOR DISCOVERING STRANGE DEDUCTIONS FROM MY PAYMENT STATEMENT AND DEMANDING PAYBACK BESIDES HAVING OVER 2300 DRIVERS NATIONWIDE SIGN UP AND DRIVING WITH UBER BY ME.
YES,,, I'M THE UBER KING TOO WITHOUT THE PUBLICITY THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT $80,000 LAST YEAR AND GROWING UNTIL A RANDOM COMPUTER GENERATED DISCONNECTION EMAIL OCCUR.
UBER IS A CROOKED COMPANY PROBABLY OWING BY NOW 10 s or 100 s of thousands of dollars SINCE I STILL GOT CONFIRMATIONS FROM SIGN UP REFERRALS, DRIVING AND COMPLETING GOALS.
TWO PEOPLE I KNOW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND ONE OF THEM RECEIVE THE MOST VAGUELY STUPID EMAIL CONFIRMING ALL THE UBER BULSHIT EVERYONE KNOWS.
UBER REP:
" APPARENTLY THERE MIGHT BE PROBLEM WITH THE ACCOUNT REASON WHY WE WILL NO LONGER HONOR THE REFERRALS INCENTIVES "
JUST PLAIN F** O*** BUT THANKS FOR GETTING OUR BUSINESS RUNNING WITH ALL THE DRIVERS YOU BROUGHT.
>>>>> SCAMMERIOS TOTALIS <<<<<<
I'M GETTING A GROUP TOGETHER TO FILE A REAL SUIT WITH ENOUGH EVIDENCE THAT WILL DEFINATELY HURT BIG MONEY ON THESE ASSHOLES.

You are very confused. No one should be thanking Uber. Uber should be thanking its drivers. Drivers have to pay gas, repairs, and taxes and charging drivers 25% or even 20% is outrageous but that isn't even the point...

The point is this. If you even think for one second that Uber gives a rat's ass about you or any other driver out there, think again! The drivers are the ones who make Uber and without the drivers, their is no Uber... at least until they get their driverless cars up and running! If Uber cared about their drivers, they wouldn't be so anxious to replace every one of us with a computer driven car!

Uber cares about Uber and is one of thee most greedy SOB's out their and I hope their drivers all get together and figure out a way to get paid what they deserve. Until people learn to stand together, Uber will continue to take full advantage of their drivers but if every driver worked out a specific week and stopped driving for that week, Uber would realize how important their drivers are to them.

And don't even try to tell me that their app is worth 20-25% of every single drivers revenue indefinitely!

Also, don't call people greedy who were smart enough to take full advantage of Uber's referral "schemes". They are, worst case scenario, just as ingenious as Uber.

Hello All!

My name is Nick and I am a new driver to UBER. I started beginning of August under the promotion 'Complete 100 Trips under 30 days and get $1,000.00'. So I completed the trips in under 2 weeks and been waiting patiently for my $1,000.00 to magically appear in my account. After a few days I sent an email because we all know that their phone # is fake. I've sent email after email, talked to rep after rep, and some say I do qualify and should get it and apologize for it taking so long and even place it into my account...and then another rep will come take it away the next day saying I don't qualify and that they need to research this further. I completed my trips on August 20th, 2016. It is now September 6th, 2016. In that time i've sent over 30 emails. Had the amount requested placed into my earnings TWICE...only to watch it disappear overnight TWICE!. I need help. I don't know what else to do. I did everything they told me to do. I'm a top partner in my area. So now i'm going to file suit for false advertisement. I even took a week off and let UBER know that I will not drive for them until they pay me the bonus! Extreme I know but they seem not to care. So filing suit is the only way. I have supportive documents and screenshots. Am I making the right call? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for listening,

Nick

File a complaint at a magistrate...wait for uber to no show and get a default judgement. Consider signing a union card before they find a reason to get rid of you.

This just happened to me I went to headquarters tried to give me the same run around costumer service did but I have screenshots and emails stating otherwise all the rep could tell me is I'm hoping they pay out the remainder I received $119 dollars vs the additional 700 I was promised but let them tell it they bring up a random copied and pasted email I've never seen in my life stating I made 581 when I hit 75 trips so they paid me 119 remaining balance what ? First off I never even made 581 I can clearly add it totals to over 620 before uber fare is taking and after so false numbers being stated to me by 10 deferent reps from India? If anybody is planing on filing a class's suit I will be more then happy to provide my evidence I make sure to save it just in case uber try's to prevent me from reaching it again.

If i could afford a lawyer? I'm an accountant by day so yeah I think I can afford a lawyer. Even people with good jobs still can drive for UBER. It's called a side hustle aka extra income which pays for trips to Vegas, etc. You would be upset too if you were promised $1,000.00 and didn't get it. Learn facts before you speak.

Right there with ya! Not getting screwed out of a bonus, but funding vegas runs! Lol

Rofl.

As for OP, if you can build a case with enough people, contact:

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/12/uber-lawsuit-drivers-class-action-shannon-liss-riordan

You won't spend a penny but you won't get that much more money either.

If you want to dig into uber's pocket at an affordable price for say.. 10k or so, use a small claims court.

Small claims court cases are won easily after class actions are on record, they need to pull the big guns to defend themselves and that ends up costing more money than the settlement, your cost will amount to a cheap lawyer that simply presents class action cases as similar situations, you can even do it yourself, lol.

Yet you're so poor you play cab driver on your off time?

You must be one terrible accountant. Oh....and claiming you're an accountant on a forum doesn't make it a fact.

I'm a billionaire hedge fund manager. ;-)

Uber in its self is a scam, any job that only shows a loss of income to the IRS isn't worth working. my market pays 77 cents a mile, uber takes out 25% of that leaving drivers with 57 cents a mile. IRS deduct 54 cents a mile for taxes and most drivers average 2 miles for every paid mile. side hustle my ass, this is a loan taken out of the value of your car at best.
