Verified Reviewer |Réactivation lyft
- - Account permanently deactivated due to photo mismatch.
- - I updated it at the barber and request reactivation.
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.
Je demande solennellement la réactivation de mon compte pour continuer le travail avec le respect du code de la route. Merci.

Verified Reviewer |My Account was incorrectly and unjustly...
Law suit
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.
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

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

Verified Reviewer |Report Lyft driver
- - Ride to Fayetteville airport included inappropriate toys, a crowded dirty car, and a netted partition; law enforcement was contacted.
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.
I will be forwarding you pictures of the inside of this vehicle. Thank you, and have a blessed day.

Verified ReviewerWhy is my Lyft account on hold / deactivated
- - 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.
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

Verified Reviewer |They are rude
- - Lyft charged over $300 for a $28 ride.
- - I filed a claim, and NSF fees and my light bill risk disconnection.
- - Customer service was rude and hung up.
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.
- Non applicable
- 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.

Verified Reviewer |Hello Lyft Customer Support, My name is...
- - 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 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
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |Lyft has still not reactivated. My Account left it on deactivation customer made false accusations towards me had picture proof customer lied
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 had really really bad customer service and I need to speak to somebody immediately
- - 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-****.

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.
I think you should There was one woman who admitted to lying about the exact same thing just because she did not want to pair her fare. She was caught because he had video proof that she was lying.She was forced to admit she lied to get a free ride via refund.
But at the same time women should not lie about this because they want a refund.
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.
You do not understand what you were talking about. I appreciate your comment move on.
Apparently you don't know how to read. I was defending you.
