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

The right was $28. They take over $300 from my bank account. Wipe my account claim now my bills are being now Im being charged with NSF fees. My light bill didnt clear itll my lights are due for disconnection because of them and trying to call them and talk to them.

They rude. They hang up in your face. They act like this is fine and its OK to treat people this way and do this. Ive taken Lyft rides for the last year and theyve never debited my account for a balance due from some rental shit from over four years ago, so its about a rental ballot.

Why wasnt 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 brand new car its not even saved to their app. And they dont wanna discuss it. They just click hang up on you.

Thats their game.

I would not recommend Lyft and I will never use Lyft in my life again. Id rather do Uber and pay the extra money then fuck around with Lyfts ass while they steal your money.

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.

They canceled my scheduled ride and have not given me my money back. I've called several different numbers and have been unable to talk to a real human agent.

They steal money and have no option to talk to someone in order to get your money back.

Its absolutely insane!!

100% do NOT recommend using lyft

I'm wasting my time working, wearing out my car, paying tolls, all to scam me. No valid address, no contact phone number available, no solutions offered.

This is not recommended. I have over 1,000 Canadian dollars in my account. They told me my debit card and all my bank accounts are incorrect.

It's crazy! I tried two debit cards and three bank accounts.

I scheduled to write I need to be out of here tonight. It was all the money I had.

The ride never showed, and they canceled my ride, and now it's saying I will not get my refund until tomorrow. I need to get out of here tonight. I have no more money. I need my refund immediately to schedule another ride.

This is bogus. I am angry.

Lyft has still not reactivated. My Account left it on deactivation customer made false accusations towards me had picture proof customer lied

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.

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.

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 *** 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,

***

Preferred solution: My account reactivated

User's recommendation: I would like someone to look into this matter and let me know if my account has been compromised

My card was charged today at 11:21 after my sister sent it on my Cash app, and I ordered an Uber around that time too, but they never showed up, or I did not see. No Uber even pulled up to this address at [STREET_ADDRESS][PERSON_NAME].

I would like it to be refunded back to my card; the amount was $9.98. Thank you.

Preferred solution: Free ride, you violated your terms of the contract and agreement by trying to charge me a full day prior to my ride and subsequently cancelled mu ride for payment failure. I should get my ride to my destination for free but the return ride as well

Did they actually charge you for the ride or did they place a hold to see if your payment method was legit? If it's a hold, it should be released soon and you're get your pittance back. I do have to ask, why do you think that you're entitled to a free ride and why would you take it if you think this thing has too many problems?

You should do a better job of screening your drivers to be sure that customers are safe; however, I am contacting a lawyer on this matter, seeing that I can't get any customer service from Lyft or their drivers.

Pros:
  • Ride
Cons:
  • Unsafe drivers

Preferred solution: For you guys to contact my lawyer after I contact them

User's recommendation: Do not use Lyft
