Je me suis désactivé définitivement à cause du manque de compréhension et d'une différence de photo. La photo qui est dans mon profil c'était différente de mon profil actuel à cause de mes cheveux qui ont poussé et de ma barbe.

Maintenant, à cause de la désactivation, je me suis rendu chez le coiffeur pour être correct comme la photo qui est dans mon profil.

Law suit

Updated by user Apr 24, 2026

Very bad not one of the representatives wanted to help me and kept just telling me that My Account deactivated there’s nothing they can do or are willing to do very bad customer service. I am an elite, tear driver, top-tier driver, and this is the way they handled this matter very poorly.

Original review Apr 23, 2026
My Account was incorrectly and unjustly deactivated. Customer lied, saying the claims that I locked them in the back of my car, not allowing them to leave and made comments towards their body.

I have picture evidence that the locking system in the back of my car are manual hand operated locking system systems.

There is no way I could have locked my customer in my car preventing them to exit. They had complete free will to leave the car which proves their accusations in full have to be considered as in accurate lies and My Account profile deserves to be fixed.

User's recommendation: Do not drive for this company if you rely on that money for your income because they will abruptly with just recently deactivate your profile and claim policy terms community guidelines violation, even if it’s a lie, and you can prove it they do not care

There will be no lawsuits. IF anything, it will be binding arbitration or in other words, what you agreed to when you became a contractor (not employee) for Lyft.

Listen, it's over. Move on or try and sue the rider who you're saying lied on you.

Dash cam broke a few days prior to the instance you do not know what you were talking about. I had almost 40+ riders throughout the whole day.

They will tell me which specific customer or ride that it was if you’re familiar with rideshare platforms that’s how they operate again.

Unjustified illegal permanent deletion of Account

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

  • - Pictures were provided as evidence in the incident.
  • - Account deletion is linked to mass arbitration against Lyft and cites manual rear-door locks.
Lyft - Unjustified illegal permanent deletion of Account
Lyft - Unjustified illegal permanent deletion of Account - Image 2

I provided picture evidence to prove the customer completely lied, but in the end, I don't believe the customer made false accusations. I think because I'm in a mass arbitration against Lyft that they made false reasonings to delete my account.

This is a bad company; never drive for them if you depend on your income. Lyft claims the customer made accusations that I made comments towards their body and prevented them from leaving my car. As you can see from the pictures provided, this customer had complete control over leaving the car. I have manual hand-operated locking systems on both rear doors, which proves all of this was lies.

I do believe this is because I am in a mass arbitration against Lyft. That is the reason why they deleted my account.

Loss:
$2500

User's recommendation: Do not use Lyft or any rideshare platform for that matter they do not deserve our hard earned money. They are corrupt and fraud and we need them to suffer the effects of doing this to drivers mind you I am an elite tear driver. I have been driving for them for five months and I had over 2200 trips five star rating with hundreds of compliments.

She is lying to get a free ride. Take her to court.

She will have to pay more than her ride fare when she loses and you prove her to be a liar. One woman almost got away with it. But he had cameras in his car to prove she lied.

She lied to get a refund. Did not work.

Yes, I am reporting that my wife, sister, and brother-in-law were picked up by an Uber to be taken to the Fayetteville airport at the time of the ride. There were inappropriate sexual toys in the vehicle; the vehicle was very nasty and crowded, and it also had some form of private netting to separate the back passengers from the driver, who passed at this time.

My spouse contacted me and asked me to contact law enforcement, which I did, and several are you OK thanks and blessings.

Why is my Lyft account on hold / deactivated

AI Highlights
  • - Account is on hold for an alleged collision cited by the Lyft app.
  • - The user has not driven for months and seeks clarification on the claim.
Why is my Lyft account on hold / deactivated

Dear Lyft Support,

I am writing to inquire about the hold placed on my driver account.

The Lyft app currently cites an alleged collision as the reason for this status; however, this information is incorrect. My vehicle has not been involved in any accidents. Furthermore, I have not driven for the platform in several months and would like clarification on why this claim has been made against my account.

I have attached a photo for your review and look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter so that I may resume driving.

Best regards,

Germain Green

They are rude

Lyft - They are rude

Lyft - They are rude - Image 3

I was in the Rider app. I was requesting a ride so I could help somebody get back home and went to pay for the ride.

The ride was $28. They took over $300 from my bank account. I filed a claim now my bills are being affected, and now I'm being charged with NSF fees. My light bill didn't clear, and my lights are due for disconnection because of them.

I'm trying to call them and talk to them. They are rude. They hang up in your face. They act like this is fine, and it's okay to treat people this way and do this.

I've taken Lyft rides for the last year, and they've never debited my account for a balance due from some rental issue from over four years ago, so it's about a rental balance. Why weren't you taking my money four years ago from the cards that were on the rental agreement? This card that I used, I just got it, a brand new card; it's not even saved to their app. And they don't want to discuss it.

They just click and hang up on you. That's their game.

I would not recommend Lyft, and I will never use Lyft in my life again. I'd rather do Uber and pay the extra money than mess around with Lyft while they steal your money.

Loss:
$326
Pros:
  • Non applicable
Cons:
  • Horrible and bad customer service support team who dont help you

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Future customers I wouldn’t take Lyft use anybody take way more to Uber. Take the city bus, but I would not *** with Lyft.

So, you knew that you had a balance, changed cards as a way to evade the balance and are now upset that they finally caught up to you. Did I get that right?

They were just lying in wait for you to do something like add a fresh payment method to the platform. This is your fault.

  • - Disputes CAD 150 damage charge on receipt 220190****43937****.
  • - Lyft rider for 3 years and requests investigation and refund if invalid.
Hello Lyft Customer Support, My name is...

Hello Lyft Customer Support,

My name is Mohammad Sajudur Rahman. I am writing to formally dispute a damage charge of CAD 150 associated with Receipt #220190****43937****.

I respectfully disagree with this claim, as I did not cause any damage during the ride. I have been using Lyft for the past three years and have always maintained a respectful and responsible record. This is the first time I have encountered such an issue.

I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly. If there were any valid damages, I would accept responsibility; however, in this case, I strongly believe the claim is incorrect and unfair.

Please review the case and arrange for a refund of the charged amount if the claim is found to be invalid.

Thank you for your attention and support. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Mohammad Sajudur Rahman

Lyft has still not reactivated. My Account left it on deactivation customer made false...

Customer lied false accusations, claiming I made comments towards their body and did not allow them to exit my vehicle. My vehicle was rented through Lyft.

It is a 2024 Toyota Corolla hybrid it has locking hand operated manual system on both back doors sent pictures to prove customer lied. I prevented them from leaving the car by locking doors or prevented them from leaving the car. When they had full usage of back door, I do believe customer made false accusations for a free ride or a discounted trip but its kind of funny.

All of this happens two days after I find out Im in a mass arbitration against Lyft for their fraud and their misrepresentations. Now all of a sudden my account is being deactivated because of false assumptions when I have proof to prove otherwise.

I have no idea if your customer’s allegations are valid, but you needed video of the fare, not pictures of some door/locks. It is a shame if the customer could not be trusted to act in good faith as a passenger.

That being said, I personally have a huge problem with the drivers and the mass arbitration against Lyft. The core issue is wanting classified as employees (vs, independent contractors) so as to receive base pay, overtime and expense reimbursement. That wasn’t the job description offered at sign-up. So you agreed to Lyft’s terms until you didn’t.

Now you want what was never offered. Sounds like your passenger.

You’ve got it all wrong. I would rather be a contractor what I am saying is my account was deleted due to them making up a false account of something that did not happen to delete my account. They deleted my account because I am in a mass arbitration lawsuit against them for their fraud practices so they deleted my account to cover themselves in this situation so understand the facts before you put out some rude comment thinking you know what’s going on, buddy.

Nara Shf

These things happen all the time. This is why you should have cameras installed in your vehicle.

One woman claimed the same thing. She did not want to pay for her ride, so she hoped that by making these claims they would give her a refund. Unfortunately for her the driver had cameras to prove that she lied and she was forced to confess.

She did not care that she could have ruined an innocent person's life or career. As long as she got the refund.

I had really really bad customer service and I need to speak to somebody immediately

AI Highlights
  • - Driver refused to pick me up and argued the ride wasn't for me.
  • - He claimed no English, spoke on the phone while driving, and ignored notes.

I tried to call you guys. I tried to write a complaint.

Nothing worked. I had the most horrific experience worst customer service ever from my Lyft driver. My Lyft was ordered by my social workers through Riverside community care. They told him to pick me up at the dollar tree in Norwood, Massachusetts theres a Jim way on the other side of the mall parking lot strip mall the driver pulled up.

I am totally totally disabled. I have lupus and Ive had 10 strokes and I dont walk very well. He pulled up for a half a second I started hobbling over to him as fast as I could. I was waving my cane and yelling.

He waited like one minute literally, and then he drove away. I was waving and screaming. I contacted my social worker. I have bad, bad anxiety and panic attacks.

I was panic being desperately in fair that I wouldnt get another ride. My social worker called them back and told them Im at the Dollar tree sitting on the bench again he came and he parked in front of the gym and I was running as fast as my legs could take me because like I said, Im totally totally disabled when I got over to him. He opened the window. I told him that he was for me because I had his license plate and car on my phone that my social worker sent me in a text I gave him my name he kept saying no its not you and he started arguing with me and wouldnt let me in the car at this point.

My legs were exhausted. He was so rude so so rude, and he kept yelling at me that it wasnt for me. I kept telling him it was under a different name because my social worker ordered it for me and he wouldnt let me in the car he said no no you cant get in it. Its not for you.

I kept telling him over and over it was for me. Somebody else ordered it and again he still wouldnt let me in the car and then the dispatcher came over the radio, and I said youre going to bring them in womens hospital right he said yes but this is not for you. Its for somebody else. I said its not for somebody else.

Theres not two people here going to bring them on womens and I said I have your license plate in your car model on my phone. Do you wanna see it and he was like no no its not for you and I heard the dispatch just say yes its her Wendy because it was in the notes because it happens all the time with your company and I told my social worker to attach my name on it and the dispatcher kept telling him it was for me and I yelled at him that he wouldnt let me in the car and that dispatcher kept telling him. Yes its for her. Bring them in womens Wendy and he kept arguing and arguing and said he wasnt gonna pick me up because it wasnt the right person.

I finally opened the door and started to get in the car and he was yelling at me and I started yelling back and told him it is for me. Im going to Brigham and Womens Hospital does not two people here going in that place its for me and he was just yelling and yelling at me and the dispatcher kept telling him it was me so we proceeded to go and he was yelling at me and being rude, and then I told him I wanted the company phone number and then all of a sudden he put an act on all of a sudden, not the clear blue. He said he didnt speak English and he didnt understand me because he didnt wanna give me the company phone number because he knew I was going to complain and he kept saying no speak English no speak English playing that act so I told him if you dont speak English, you should not be dealing with the public if you cant communicate with them, then he got on his phone and was talking on the phone in Spanish, which is highly rude. I told him, sir I dont like you on your phone when youre driving me in the car you cant pay attention when youre driving if youre on the phone, please hang up the phone and he kept saying no speak English and kept on talking on the phone, he talked on the phone from Norwood, Massachusetts to Boston.

He would not hang up the phone and two people beeped at him because he wasnt paying attention and he did something that upset them and it was beeping at him because he was on the phone and not paying attention to driving. I have major anxiety and panic attack attacks I was in a really horrific car accident and I was scared because he was on the phone and not paying attention. I told him over and over again to get off the phone and I told him I wanted the number for his boss and he just kept saying I dont speak English. He was so rude and arrogant and ignorant.

This was the worst experience in my life. I was so scared in that car because he was on the phone. He has poor poor customer service and he should not be dealing with the public.

Im not prejudice whatsoever, but how can he drive a car and communicate with people when he keeps saying no English I hope somethings done about this. Please call me 413-219-****.

User's recommendation: At this point, absolutely not I am so upset right now

Which is it on the first attempt, he pulled up for a HALF SECOND or waited one minute literally? Both can’t be true.

And Lyft receives EXACT addresses through the app, not phone calls to “the gym at the mall”. Your social worker lied that she “spoke” to the driver and she also failed to enter the specific address and YOUR NAME. What you don’t understand is the driver gets a NAME to verify. Period.

So stop with your “there aren’t two people here going to the same destination”. And watch your foul mouth next time.

Save it for the social worker and whatever insurance set-up failed you. Because the driver has rules to follow.

Lyft FAQs

Winnie Murugi
PissedConsumer Reporter

Lyft is a ridesharing company that specializes in auto lease, bicycle-sharing, and meal delivery in the United States and Canada. The services are accessed via the mobile application.

Lyft FAQs

To start using the services, a user should install the app and create an account having stated some personal information and credit card or e-commerce payment system details. After the service is completed, drivers and customers may rate each other. Lyft provides standard vehicle insurance.

The ride price depends on the ride route, type, availability, and demand. When entering the pickup and drop-off locations in the Lyft app, it should show the estimate of what your ride will cost. You can also use Lyft’s fare estimator on their website to get a fare estimate.

To delete your Lyft account, you should go to the Lyft website, log in, and submit a request in the ‘Delete account’ section. You will need to select a reason for your account deletion request. The request can be handled within 45 days. Once deleted, the account cannot be restored.

You can earn free rides provided you refer friends or family members to use Lyft. Find a referral code in the ‘Free Rides’ section in your Lyft app and ask your friends to use it when they create a new Lyft account. Lyft also offers different discounts and promo codes.

To drive for Lyft, you need to be at least 25 years old. However, in some cities, the minimum age requirement is 21.

Lyft typically processes refunds for canceled rides within 5-7 business days. If you see a pending transaction for a canceled Lyft ride, it should either disappear or appear as a refund once your bank processes the transaction.

To request a Lyft cash refund, open the app and go to the home screen. Tap the Menu icon, select “Ride History,” and find the ride you want to dispute. Click the Get Help button at the bottom of the screen, choose the issue you encountered, and select “Dispute fare or Charge” next to it. You can also contact Lyft through the Help Center for additional assistance.

To cancel a Lyft ride, open the app and go to the Ride screen. Tap “Edit ride” in the bottom left corner, select the Cancel Ride option, and confirm the cancellation.

According to Lyft cancellation policy, if you cancel within two minutes of booking, you can avoid a cancellation fee. For scheduled rides, you can cancel without a fee if you do so before being matched with a driver.

To dispute a charge, go to the Lyft app’s home screen, tap the Menu, and select the Ride History tab. Find the ride you want to dispute and tap on it. Scroll down and click the Get Help button to select the topic of your issue and choose the Dispute Fare or Charge option. This will initiate a process where you can explain the problem and request a refund or adjustment.

To see your Lyft rider rating, tap the Menu icon in the top left corner of the app’s home screen and select “View profile” below your profile picture. Your star rating will be displayed in the banner below your name and photo. Your rating is an average of the last 100 rides. If you have fewer than 100 rides, it’s the average of all your rides so far.

Founded by Logan Green and John Zimmer in 2012, Lyft, as a publicly traded company, is now owned by various institutional investors. The top shareholders include Fidelity Management, Vanguard, JPMorgan Investment, BlackRock, and Jackson Square Partners.

To remove a card from your Lyft account, open the Menu on the app and select the Payment tab. Tap on the card you want to remove, tap “Delete,” and confirm your choice. Before you can delete a payment method, make sure you have at least one other payment method set as the default.

To reactivate your Lyft account, check any emails or notifications from the company to understand why your account was deactivated. To get in touch with Lyft support, visit their Help Center and submit a request to reactivate your account. Provide any necessary information or documentation they request. If your account was permanently deactivated, you can submit an appeal through the Lyft Help Center. Check your email for any updates from Lyft and respond promptly to any requests for additional information.
