Follow-Up from Lyft Safety

I hope this finds you well. My name is Brady, and I am the Trust & Safety Specialist assigned to this investigation.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and for following up on the matter. After further consideration, we have elected to reactivate your account.

Please keep in mind that any future reports of this nature may lead to the immediate and final deactivation of your account on the Lyft platform.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns by replying to this e-mail or by calling me back directly at (629) 255-0174.

Best,

 

Next day I filed a formal complain against Lyft:

 

Good luck with that and let us know how it turns out, their response to the formal complaint.

I would worry that Lyft would find another reason or none at all to permanently deactivate—seems to be their M.O. when a wheel is too squeaky.

 

At this point, I am not really worried about the Lyft, since I drive 95% for Uber. For now I have stopped using Lyft app, until new years eve. And even then I would use Lyft only after dark, and that is when there is a lesser chance that my "back-seat-driver" rider would turn a beyond-my-control situation or a normal situation into a "safety violation". I made a mistake of not reporting the event to Lyft, and instead gave my ride a chance to report it, still not knowing that it could have made any difference. Since then my hatred for homeless creeps has surged my folds. Also, I am pissed at that "perfectly-awre-of-situation"rider, I wonder if I could report something -ve to that rider through my Lyft app?

My previous safety violation was also reported by a day time ride couple who grabbed on to each other as soon as I got onto I-405 from Pearl district and dropped them off at NW 23rd. It seemed to me that it was their very first venture onto a freeway, and I laughed at them after dropping them off over the scared look on their faces after the ride. Later that day I even verified that drive on the dash cam to make sure if I have not broken any laws, and it was a normal ride.

Therefore, I would encourage all drivers to report to Lyft/Uber immediately after ride, if you smell something fishy, just to get a head start in case something gets reported against you.

 

I gave up on Lyft. After 2 months of a continuing background check they still haven't figured it out and I deleted my account. I guess my background check getting my credentials with the state police and federal police agencies was not as tough as the Lyft background check.

 

I was deactivated TODAY 8/21/2022 for an EXTREME FALSE ACCUATION. I have been driving for LYFT 5 months, 2500 rides, 5-star status. In the midst of doing LYFT, I receive a message on the app that my account is temporarily on hold. I'm assuming the App wants me to Identify myself AGAIN because they're under the impression that I'm letting someone else drive my rented FLEX Vehicle. I then received a email from Lyft Support starting that I have violated a Safety Issue. Jotting my memory, I don't recall speeding and I do not drink or smoke. I assumed a driver wasn't happy with my music selection and reported me for not saying "HI" when they entered the vehicle. My rule is, when Riders get in my car AND DON'T TALK, I DON'T TALK EITHER. You might assume I should initiate the conversation, but I don't see it that way. Anyhow, I get a call from Lyft Supporter. Caller asked me if I had time to explain what happened? I respond with, "I Do Not Know? I Do Not know what my Violation is!" I'm being told that a recent rider said, "I EXPOSED MY GENTALIA AND WAS TALKING SEXUALLY!" I told the Caller that is a COMPLETE LIE, and that the Accuser needs to be withdrawn from using All Rideshare platforms for False Accusations. The Caller is still speaking to me in a condescending manner. "SO YOU DON'T REMEMBER SHOWING YOUR GENTALIA??" Me: ".... AHH NOT WHATSOEVER!!" I then went on to say, ".... How is it that a Rider can just Make Up ANYTHING and now my account is on temporary HOLD, and I can't make Money until after a INVESTIATION. I do not know HOW LONG this INVESTIGATION Will Last and due to being the victim of a Severe Car Accident in 2019, I am limited to the amount of physical labor I can do if I need to find another JOB. I want the Accuser to be Prosecuted to the FULLEST and I also have a Theory that the LYFT STAFF made up this entire Conspiracy. With that said, I want the LYFT STAFF to be Terminated. Meanwhile, I AM OUT OF WORK and Rent, Utilities, Health Insurance will all be DUE SOON! I NEED HELP ASAP!!

 

Do you drive Uber?
