Q: I am an UBER driver. I have ian ongoing issue where I am disputing to UBER an earning where I was not paid.
The issue started Dec 22, 2017. I am disputing for $192.93 where they deducted out this amount from my earnings for a suspicion that hey paid me with a duplicate amount.
They requested my bank statement. I sent them my bank statements showing all their deposits but found no duplicate amount. I kept on emailing them, called their customer service several times and the answer was all the same. " We will update you as soon as we have available information on this case."
Although this is a small $192.93 amount, but I spent 4 nights, 7 hours of driving from 8PM-3AM. I sweat for this amount but was not paid.
At this time it will more than 1 months now and still no update nor returned amount. Do I have a case vs UBER?
A:
Assuming you are in California:1: If you are an "employee",if you receive a W-2 in January showing your earnings for the past year. you go to the Labor Commissioner. 2: If you are a true independent contractor and receive a 1099 after the end of the year, your recourse is to the Small Claims Court.
The San Diego Superior Court has a website with a lot of helpful information for small claims plaintiffs, as well as all the forms you will need. Also inquire at the court about a Small Claims Advisor. The process is not complicated, the small claims court is very informal, the judges are sympathetic.
Good luck!!
