| Posted: 21 Nov 2018 06:02 PM PST Location: Toronto Ontario Officially as of today Jane has vacated my apartment, and building management has changed the locks. We were able to come to a signed agreement where she agreed to vacate the property within 7 days if i refunded her last two months of rent. (~4200$). Which i did. Honestly between this and my other legal fees i am basically in the hole, and i would have been better off not having anyone rent my apartment. I talked to someone who is doing a story on Jane, and they were able to confirm that she apparently works for a company rents out places on AirBNB (said person who was doing a story basically told me they weren't going to pursue this anymore due to time concerns). She isn't a grad student nor is she even a student. I don't feel like i won, and honestly i just feel absolutely infuriated with the entire situation. AirBNB to this day still has my place being listed on AirBNB. Who knows why she doesn't have keys anymore. My apartment is a disaster right now and from what my property manager has stated it seems like people definitely did smoke in my apartment. There are burns on my couch from cigarette, my dishwasher is broken, and pretty much everything needs a desperate deep clean. But my apartment is safe more or less. Anyways i wanted to thank everyone for your advice. It probably isn't the best ending but it taught me an extremely valuable lesson, and i can go home at Christmas and hopefully clean my apartment.

| I found out my wife is cheating and racking up debt. What do I do? Posted: 22 Nov 2018 06:24 AM PST [VIRGINIA BEACH] I'll try to keep it simple, my wife and I have a joint account which was a huge mistake on my part. I let her have control of our finances a while back because it was causing issues in our relationship which I've been fighting to keep alive. Two days ago i found out shes been cheating and last night i found out that she had taken out a 10k loan from the bank earlier this year, and my credit card, which I thought was paid off in full, is almost maxed out at a little over 10k. I had recently received a check from my father for 5k from my grandfathers death and deposited it all in my savings to not be touched. Which now only has 1k in it. I dont know what to do. She does not know that I know about all of this yet. She is just strutting around the house like everything is peachy. Am i responsible for everything? Will i have to file for bankruptcy? My income is ok but nothing great. I want to get out of this situation as cleanly as possible but dont know how. We also have 2 kids, the older one not being mine and the younger is. EDIT: to add location and the fact that I am military. Married in Connecticut and currently own home in virginia beach. When all is said and done I want to get out and move back home to michigan and start a new. Not sure if any of that matters but figured I'd include it anyway. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 08:02 AM PST Throwaway I work in a medical facility and we currently have no heat. It's 21F, with the wind chill it's 13F. I have Hashimoto's which makes me really intolerant to cold. It's the worst in my hands and feet. I work as a receptionist so I can't really wear gloves or mittens all day, plus that isn't the best idea working around sick people all day with the issue of containing germs. My employer refuses to let me leave. I am currently sitting here in my winter jacket and hat and I am still losing feeling in my fingers and toes. I am thinking about getting a note from my primary care doctor that says I need a climate controlled environment. My major concern is that when this happened last year it went on for two weeks before they did repairs and I got very sick from it. If my doctor writes me a note can they still fire me if I tell them I can't come into work because of this? I really can't afford to miss work but I can't afford my health and being sick for two weeks again during flu season. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Collage artist stealing my photography Posted: 22 Nov 2018 06:40 AM PST I recently discovered an artist is using my photography to create collages of pop art, posting on Instagram, and they seem to be selling a large scale print of this work. They're showing off a mock up of the piece printed large scale in a retail store and it looks like they've sold other pieces using stolen backgrounds. This is actually two of my photos stitched together but using the full images and unmistakably my work. They're in another country. Do I have any options? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 06:52 AM PST So I work in a hospital as a nurse. Recently we've taken on a patient who is verbally and physically abusive. She threatens staff with bodily harm, threatens to have us fired, threatens to pull out her central line and bleed out, threatens to sue, has attempted to strike staff and actually struck staff, harasses her assigned nurse and CNA by following them to patient rooms, sat down in the nurses station and refused to move (despite that being a potential HIPAA violation), and generally has been an unholy terror. She's still ill, so discharge is not on the table as of now. She is alert, oriented, and consentable. My unit director has been in her room multiple times to tell her that her abuse in unacceptable. Our hospital representative has been in her room to speak with her and tell her that her behavior is inappropriate and if she were to continue, the hospital can potentially press charges. We've been told to file event reports every time she acts out, but we've not heard anything back about those reports. Nothing has made a dent, and her behavior has continued. The hospital has not taken any further steps to protect staff. We are all sick of being abused over the last two weeks with no end in sight. My question is, do we have any recourse here? The hospital has failed to address the physical and verbal abuse towards staff, and providing care for this patient is a game of Russian Roulette. She can be agreeable sometimes, and Satan incarnate other times. Some of the staff have talked of skipping the usual event report the hospital has asked us to file when she acts out, and instead calling 911 the next time she is abusive towards them to pursue charges. Others have talked about legal recourse against the hospital for failing to provide a reasonably safe working environment. I'm just curious if we have a leg to stand on. For the record, we are in West Virginia. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 10:58 AM PST I cannot find anywhere that says that minors have a right to not be forced to take their clothes off or that minors have the right for guardians to not inspect their used underwear. However I feel that I was violated at a treatment center that my parent signed me over to . The treatment center was my legal guardian and they forced me to take my clothes off and they inspected my panties. They did not allow me to have my parent present did not allow me to call my parent and ask if this was okay and they did not allow me to call a police officer to explain what I can legally say no to. I want to know what make this legal if it is [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 11:36 AM PST 7 years ago I went into business with a partner to sell digital products online. I invested some money, he invested his time, and the deal was I would get 35% ownership and he 65%. Long story short the product didn't take off, we never sold a single product and he basically disappeared. I was pretty upset as I lost about $20,000. Fast forward to today, I find out he went into business with another partner 2 years ago selling basically the same product under a different business name & product name. They have a few employees and appear to be doing well. My question is, does my investment entitle me to shares of this new company? Also, is this outside the statute of limitations time period to file? [link] [comments]  |
| My sister 18f stayed in america and now my dad is threatening to disown us all. Posted: 22 Nov 2018 01:20 PM PST Hello My sister who is 18 decided to stay in America to get away from my mentally abusive dad. She was born there like everyone else in my family except my dad. For some context we have been living in Malaysia and he is visiting his parents in Europe. We went there to visit my grandparents and the night before the flight she told him she wanted to stay. He said she needed to come back and they could talk about her leaving. But we all knew that if she went back she wouldn't leave. I have 2 little siblings, my mom, and my big sister. He just found out that she didn't come back and is threatening to disown us and divorce my mom if she doesn't come back now. He is dead set on this and has even found a flight for her. He is really mentally abusive and has told me things like I am white trash that i am going to die on the side of the road. We also have messages of him calling us dirty bitches and other really horrible stuff. My mom is really scared that when he comes back he will take my little siblings and run to a different country. Can he do this? I think we are going to book a flight back right now in order to avoid this. I am sorry if i posted in the wrong place but I really need help. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 01:06 PM PST Edit: thanks for the concerned messages. I have no reason to believe I am at above-average risk of being murdered. I just find the trend of making podcasts and documentaries about murders for entertainment purposes really strange and would prefer that my (very unlikely, entirely hypothetical) own violent death not be used for entertainment purposes.

| Concerned for my child’s well being. Not sure what I can do. Posted: 22 Nov 2018 10:57 AM PST Hello everyone, first time posting something like this and I'll give some background information. My son is almost 2 years old, me(22) and his mom(21) have been split up since he was only 3 months old. We have no custody agreement within the courts but do have a schedule that makes it so we rotate having him at each house. The only thing is I have him much more at my house than hers because she values time with friends and partying over staying home with our son. The problem I have is she has had a very bad tendency of bringing him around everyone new guy she talks to. He has slept at multiple different guys houses and apartments instead of her own so she can spend time with these guys. Some have lasted just under a month to 3 months. She recently met a guy that resides in NJ and wants to take our son there but said she was going with her friend 'Christina' when in fact it was a lie. This guy I found out has a history of drug problems and a violent past. We both live in CT and I'm not sure what I can do besides going to court for a custody battle, which would take time. But anything now to prevent any harm towards my son I'm not sure what I can legally do. I don't want to stop her from seeing him as she is his mother and I value that. But she puts him in situations that are not okay. Thank you for reading all of this and any advice is greatly appreciated! Have a nice thanksgiving everyone! :) [link] [comments]  |
| [Update][New York] Lyft driver submitted a false report Posted: 21 Nov 2018 08:10 PM PST Link to original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/8xodoc/new_york_lyft_driver_submitted_a_false_report/ TLDR: Lyft dismissed cleaning fee and the driver was found guilty for committing fraud. He was charged $500 and issued 4 points against his TLC license. ——— Since the original post on Reddit, Lyft customer support charged my credit card $50 for a cleaning fee. I requested the proof of the claimed damages. Lyft support forwarded me two photos with an open bottle spilling some liquid on the backseat. I have inspected the EXIF metadata of the photos and discovered that it was taken nearly three hours since we were dropped off. I shared my findings with Lyft along with the instructions on how to verify and confirm the details. While waiting for the response from Lyft's support team, I filed a complaint with the TLC and informed Lyft about that. Shortly after Lyft dismissed the charges and refunded $50. TLC process was fairly straightforward, I was contacted over the phone to go over the details. I shared all relevant information such as receipts, correspondence with Lyft support team, photos of the "proof " and the details about photos' metadata. A court hearing was scheduled for the beginning of November. As the complaining witness, I was able to testify over the phone. The driver had to be present in person. During the hearing I was asked to describe the ride and answer some questions in regards to the bottle with liquid. After my statement, I was free to disconnect and go on about my day. Few days later I received the Notice of Decision with a details from the hearing that included my testimony as well as the driver's. He claimed that he did not check until hours later, and waited for a friend to bring an iPhone to take the "proof" photos. The driver was found guilty for committing fraud, rule 80-12(c). He was charged $500 and issued 4 points against his TLC license. TLC rules, chapter 80: http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/downloads/pdf/rule_book_current_chapter_80.pdf [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 05:11 AM PST This legal separation (or "limited divorce") is in Maryland. This is probably going to end up being a novel. The reason I (their daughter) am posting for advice is because this situation is effecting my life negatively and I cannot take it anymore. I want to become more knowledgeable on the subject and hoping to get some advice as to what to expect if my father does file for a final divorce and how I can make it so my mother doesn't become homeless (if that even could happen). My mother is 60+ years old. She is unemployed and has been for years. She is part of a housing program, has medical problems that would prevent her from comfortably working (but has not filed for disability because she claims it would not provide her with enough money to pay rent, etc), she has no extended family to help her financially, etc., she has no friends, and she has no hobbies. The only income she receives on a monthly basis is from my father - alimony and child support (which he no longer legally has to provide since I am over the age of 18 & no longer reside with her). She pays bills and gets groceries from the money he gives her. My father is also 60+ years old and has retired early due to health issues. He left my mother ~19 years ago and they filed for a limited divorce. My father has been living with his girlfriend ever since. However, he sneaks behind his girlfriend's back to call my mother every single evening for the past ten years at least. He even has her number in his phone under my name. He used to visit me every other weekend which his girlfriend was aware of but didn't know he was also visiting my mother and that my mother was there for every single visit. He continues to tell her he visits me but it is to visit my mother and give her money and do whatever else. When he does visit me at my home on days that aren't the "other weekend," he has to sneak around. He had to sneak and lie to his girlfriend when he came to my wedding even. His girlfriend knows of me and wants to be involved in my life but does not know that I have moved out of my mother's house, that I am married, or any other similar life event. This constant sneaking around is because my mother claims that if his girlfriend knows that I am out of her house, etc., that she will force my father to file the final divorce (which sure, makes sense I guess) and thus, forcing my dad to stop his monthly payments, and then leaving her homeless. She will guilt trip my dad and I so we will continue all the lies, etc. My father has no independence and as much as he can't stand my mother, he is still letting her manipulate him for some reason. I don't know what exactly happens after a final divorce, but wouldn't my mother still get alimony at least? And would she obtain anything from his retirement or no? I don't see how after so many years this would be such a huge issue and I can't see her being completely penniless with all these government programs such as the housing one she's already under. This whole situation is a confusing cluster of nonsense so apologies if I wasn't clear on some things. I am hoping if this final divorce goes through soon (which is likely) that I don't have to worry about my mother being homeless because there's no way she's moving in with my husband and I. Any legal advice would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| I just got scammed for the first time. What do I do??? Posted: 22 Nov 2018 06:39 AM PST First time posting something like this and it's on mobile so sorry if it doesn't look right. Anyway it's my sons (8) birthday and all he wanted was Tickets to go see a Vikings game. Well at this point they are very expensive so I went on Craigslist I haven't had an issue before so I really didn't think anything of it. I talked to this guy he seemed legit (but I guess they always do) I sent him the money via money gram thinking at least you'll have to show your ID right? Well as soon as he received it the phone is disconnected (I'm sure this is his plan). So now I'm out the money with no tickets and an 8 year old who thinks he's going to a game... HELP what do I do from here.. (USA MN) [link] [comments]  |
| Uber charged me a cleaning fee when no incident occurred in the car. Posted: 22 Nov 2018 06:28 AM PST Got an Uber home late last night and there was nothing out of the ordinary and no problems whatsoever. Then, when I wake up this morning I have an email saying I've been charged $200 extra because an incident occurred in my Uber. I have already contacted the company disputing the charge, but is there anything I can do if they don't refund me? Edit: Live in Florida [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2018 07:32 PM PST For context I'm in Washington state, and 3 weeks ago my ex gf and I got into an arguing match. Essentially faces in front of each other screaming at the top of our lungs. Then randomly she starts screaming I spit on her,that I am advancing on her, then grabs my hand and bites the hell out of it.now she says she's calling the cops. At this point im in full wtf mode. The only thing she could even consider as spit is saliva leaving my mouth as we where arguing. Cops arrive quickly and question us both, she saying I advanced on her, me denying it. Sits in his car for a bit, comes back and tells me I'm under arrest for domestic violence assault in the 4th degree. Spent a night in jail, out on own recogniscence the following day. But with the stipulation of a no contact order with my gf Fast forward 3 weeks to this last monday. I'm sitting at my apt, when my ex texts me she is coming over to get her stuff. I know I can't be around her, so I grab some stuff and go to leave. Her and her new bf greet me in the parking lot with general douchebaggery, trying to be as intimidating as possible towards me. At this point in so tired of this circus with her I want out. Head over to my mom's house which is about 5 miles away, as I pull in cop pulls up right behind me. Officer says my ex called to report I broke the no trespassing order. By her coming to my apt while I'm there I'm still at fault so I get arrested, officer stated the state ties his hands he has to make an arrest. mom's crying all the while big scene, I gotta try my best to calm her down, even the officer telling her he didn't believe I shud be arrested. Spent Monday and most of Tuesday in county jail. I got out last night, to find that her and her new bf are literally squatting in my apt with my possessions and refuse to leave. I have called my managers, the police dept, and several local lawyers and all of them said I am basically screwed. Apparently when the cops questioned her she claimed she lived there, and in the court records her home address was now the same as mine. Even though she is not on the lease, or any utilities in her name, I have been told she cannot be force out without going through the long eviction process.....on myself. Landlords said they would have to evict whole houshold, so I'd get screwed too. So currently she is sitting in my apt, with the utilities I pay for, with her new bf, while I'm stuck at my mom's. This is the craziest thing I have ever had happen, i can't believe she has the right to force me out of my own home that I pay for. I have tried contacting lawyers,but all have been had full clients or so expensive I couldn't dream of hiring them. I'm in a very rough spot because I lost my job due to jail and had to fix the wheel bearing on my car with my last bit of cash. I have a public defender, but they along with the rest of the world don't care because it's thanksgiving and everyone wants to go have their family time. I get it, but it really sucks when shitt like this happens. Honestly I just want any advice, I've never even been to court before this. At this point my options are so bleak anything can give me hope. Happy thanksgiving everybody, hope it goes better for u then me [link] [comments]  |
| My neighbors are playing loud Christmas music on loop 24/7 and it keeps my fiance awake at night Posted: 21 Nov 2018 09:10 PM PST Pretty much just the title. My fiance is a full-time student so as you can imagine, sleep is precious and rare. But with these absurdly loud decorations and bright lights it keeps her awake. I mean it sounds like someone is watching a Christmas movie downstairs. I installed blinds over her windows (she previously had none) and that helps with the lights, but the music is still there. I'm in a suburb of north Austin TX I've asked them to at least turn the volume down and they said "Who doesn't like Christmas music?" And shut the door. Should I contact the police or is there something else I should do first or instead? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 05:46 AM PST My furnace has been out for 2.5 weeks now. The apartment owner hasn't ordered a new furnace, but was planning on having his maintenance crew install it once they had it. In the mean time, they gave me two space heaters and told me it's safe to run them when I'm not home, which is obviously not safe, so I have only been running them when I'm home. I have lizards that will die if they get too cold, so I've been more concerned with them than myself. Last night, a light switch caught on fire in my apartment from running the space heaters. It was 15 degrees outside last night. The fire department came out and told the maintenance crew that my apartment is uninhabitable and that they needed to move at least my bed and pets to another apartment or hotel. The fire department had to disable power to half of my apartment, but left power on in my bedroom bc the fire wasn't on that circuit and I was trying to keep my pets warm in that room before we moved them. The maintenance crew called the owner to tell them what happened and he said that because my room had power, that I should continue living there with one space heater. The maintenance crew ignored him and moved me to the new apartment anyways, against his will. So my question is, what can I do about not paying rent or getting out of my lease? I don't want to pay rent when I am told my the city I can't even live in my apartment. What resources should I be reaching out to to help me with my case? There are other tenants without heat and the owner is obviously not going to do what's right if he wanted me to continue living in my apartment. Who are the right ppl to get in contact with to make sure this doesn't happen again to other tenants? Edit: also wanted to mention that I was without AC for a month and a half this summer. They installed 2 window units and quadrupled my electric bill. Still wanted me to pay rent after that. [link] [comments]  |
| ISP Lost their equipment and is charging us for it Posted: 22 Nov 2018 12:23 PM PST I live in Quebec (Canada), my mother had an account with an internet service provider for my apartment, because we had a fee to pay to open a new account. I paid the bill obviously. Last July, we closed the account since I moved into a dormitory where the internet is included. We wanted to return the modem and the WI-FI router. After several calls they ended up sending us a bag so we could send them the equipment, which we did. A week later we had the confirmation thanks to the tracking number that the package arrived safely, but the company sent us a bill for the equipment they say they have never received. So we called to settle this, but every time the employee says that everyone is settled, that the bill will disappear (except that it does nothing) it will even confirm that the devices have arrived home. This lasted for several months, now a collection company calls for my mother to repay this "debt". They have been called but nothing seems to work out, every employee changes their speech in the middle of the conversation and nobody seems to want to solve the problem. I also send an email to the company to try to settle but they referred me to the phone number. What course of action should we take? [link] [comments]  |
| Is my ex-wife responsible for half of our daughter's funeral and burial expenses? Posted: 21 Nov 2018 05:59 PM PST Ohio here. Our 18-year-old daughter (still in highschool) passed away in a car accident on October 12th. She was living with me while our other two daughters reside primarily with their mother. Our 18-year-old was still considered a financial obligation in regards to child support and health care until her graduation date. I hate that I'm even having to discuss this being that I wish all that I had to do was grieve... but with the grieving I am under a tremendous amount of financial stress. This includes my child support going up due to her death and now having to pay on her totalled out car that insurance didn't even come close to paying off due to it having a salvage title. I'm going to sink fast. I had a $10,000 life insurance policy on my daughter through my work. This will nearly cover all her funeral and burial expenses. If I only had to pay half of these expenses, I could use the rest to pay off her car with a little left over to pay on my 14-year-old's knee surgery and other outstanding medical bills for my children. This would not provide me complete financial relief but it would help keep my head above water. When asking my ex-wife if she could pay for half of our daughter's funeral expenses, she replied "That's what her life insurance is for." This policy I was paying for was not mandated upon me. I chose to carry it and I know the funds are not strictly for funeral expenses. My first priority is my daughter and paying off the funeral home because they gave her a beautiful service, but if I can get help from her mother... Is her mother obligated to share these expenses? Edit: For those of you downvoting me, I have spared you the details of the unspeakable things this woman has done to me and my children... especially my deceased daughter. I've let her walk all over me and her for years just to try and keep the peace. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 01:53 PM PST Disclaimer: I know having a baby is not an excuse. I'm not shirking responsibility for dropping item. Please if you don't have legal advice, don't bother reading this long post. I plan to file a police report with SMPD. Anyone have any idea on which legal course I should take? Talk to a lawyer now? On November 18, 2018 (Sunday), my 17 month old baby and I took an Uber with a driver named Elizabeth. I have her license plate and car make. The ride was approximately 7 minutes long- starting from Venice Beach (25 Windward Ave, Venice CA) and ended at our hotel Le Meridien Delfina (530 Pico Ave, Santa Monica). We got off and as I was checking my things on the way to our room, I became aware that my phone (iPhone XS Max in a Mous shell case) must have dropped at the Uber as I used it to FaceTime with my husband. I checked to see if the Uber was still at the driveway but she had already left. I informed the valet and bellmen who were there and saw us get out of the car of what happened and asked that they be on the lookout in case she's still around or comes back to return the phone. I went back to the hotel room with my baby and used the iPad to contact my husband who was driving home to San Francisco with our dog at the time. We both tried to call the number several times but found that the phone has already been turned off immediately. That was suspicious as I used it to FaceTime with my husband during the ride and know it was on. My baby and I's airport transfer (SafeRide Transport) was arriving at 10:30am to take us to LAX for our flight to SFO at 12:55pm. I was not able to pursue the issue some more until I returned home and was able to procure a temporary phone to use with my own phone number. I have left her voicemails through the Uber call relay system as well as filed a complaint with Uber from 11/18 Sunday evening to 11/19 Monday. No response from the driver. On 11/19 Monday afternoon, I left the driver a voicemail and Uber a message that I am filing a police report with her license plate and that I have evidence that the last location of my phone on was on the ride with her. I told her the valet and bellmen at the hotel can attest to the fact that I tried to see if she was still there. Also, that my phone had been turned off immediately and Uber can pull up if she had any passengers as early as the time the phone has been turned off. I also said that if it's found and returned, there will be no questions asked. Uber contacted me several minutes later with a message that she contacted them and confirmed that she has my phone. Although everything pointed to malicious intent, I was just happy that my device was found as this was a 3 year wedding anniversary present to me from my husband. I had informed Uber that since she is not returning my calls and voicemails to make sure she knows to drop it off at the hotel (Le Meridien Delfina) as I sent a shipping label to the hotel to ship my items back. It is now 11/22 and the driver is still refusing to take/return my many calls and voicemails. She is knowingly withholding my personal property with no show of intent to give it back. I am 100% willing to pay the Uber fee for returning my item and I even said on one of my voicemails that I would do an additional tip (reward) for her for the trouble. I have checked with the hotel and still no device has been dropped off. Additionally, Uber just escalated the issue 11/21. It is my understanding that they have not been able to get a hold of her either. As of 11/21 evening, Uber is now saying "if the driver still has the phone and is willing to return it"... as well as "Uber and drivers bear no responsibility about things left at a vehicle past the ride". Withholding someone's property and showing no intent to return it is theft. Is Uber abetting a thief? There is no repercussions or pressure for the driver who I'm willing to bet is still driving for them. I get that they're private contractors which Uber likes to advertise BUT is that license to commit criminal activity without fear of punishment? Where is the line drawn? I plan on pursuing charges after the police report is filed. Its a matter of principle to me now. At this rate, wondering if Uber should also be held accountable for fostering an environment where their (not) employees are encouraged to choose whether they want to return someone else's property or not.

| (MD) Can my mother kick me out over a dog? Posted: 22 Nov 2018 12:38 PM PST So for the past 2+ years I have been living with and paying all of my mothers housing mortgage. It started after she lost her full time job. She would have lost her house due to having no other children nor a spouse. The issue is basically she states I cannot have a dog even though I pay for her house. I'm wondering if she can legally do anything if I bring one home. I know she would be pissed, but I'm at the point I want a dog to care for since I don't want children. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2018 08:49 PM PST I know, you probably read the title and youre shocked that I would be worried about money refunded to me without an explanation. The thing is, I know the money isnt mine to keep, Im sure this was some sort of mistake on Ubers part, and I generally live paycheck to paycheck (college student), Im worried that at some point Ill be tight on money, lose track of my spending and not leave the full amount in the account, just to have them finally charge it back the next day, leaving me with a negative balance and stacking overdraft fees.. Ive posted this to all the uber subreddits and got some interesting theories as to why it happened, but no clear explanation and no way to directly contact Uber. So heres my situation: I recently noticed that almost $500 of rides have been refunded into my account. Not that Im complaining, that would be fantastic, but its obviously a mistake of some kind, I never asked for a refund for one ride, and they refunded 24 separate rides that happened over a period of around three months.. Its even weirder, because when I went to the app to check on these rides, all of the costs had been reset to 0.00. I couldnt find a customer service number to call (apparently they dont have one for riders, convenient), and could only find help.uber.com, after writing out a thorough email detailing exactly what was going on, this is the canned message I received back: After replying to this email for more information, I got another canned response telling me that this would be pushed to a "special team", that was weeks ago, I still havent heard back. Last week I tried again and I got the exact same response, word for word, mentioning it would be pushed to a "special team". Uber's terrible customer service has been absolutely no help. All Ive gotten is automated responses, every time, without any sort of follow up from a real person. Youd think they would be more interested in getting back the money they obviously mistakenly refunded me.. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen before? What am i supposed to do here? I know the money isnt mine to spend, but at this point its been weeks and I havent been able to contact Uber at all. Its starting to be really irritating that I have to keep track of and go out of my way to return this money they accidentally refunded into my account. I have no way to actually contact them and I really dont know what to do about this. What can I do to solve this? Is there any point where this money just becomes mine? Or do I have to keep this amount sitting in my account for an indefinite amount of time until they finally figure out what they did and charge me back for it? [link] [comments]  |
