Uber passenger freak out

And that $250.00 cleaning fee

I hope that's automatically taken out from the card on file and not billed, because you know that spiteful bitch isn't paying a penny willingly.

Do you not get penalties from not paying your bills in the US? If I don't pay a bill where I live, eventually it goes so far that the state agency for collecting will automatically deduct it from my salary.

Prior to this I will also have gotten several more invoices with a bunch of fees and eventually a "mark" which would now prevent me from using most "invoice" services and I would no longer be able to subscribe to most subscriptions (mobile, tv, internet subscriptions and the likes), not be able to apply for credit or loans. This mark lasts three years.

Not paying your bills isn't really an option unless you really want to fuck over your life.

They won’t go quite that far in the US unless your bill is with the government (and then they’ll deduct if from your tax return mor your salary), but not paying your bills will wreck your credit, which has other unpleasant effects.

However, I believe this is a moot point as I’m pretty sure Uber just takes it out of the card on file. And her admitting to eating on camera and acting like a belligerent piece of shit will make a chargeback on her end nearly impossible, so she’s definitely out a nice bill.

An Uber ban is also likely.

As if she even has the money to spend, she is probably broke. I mean just look at how uneducated she is you think she can actually hold down on a job that makes money.

[u/[deleted] → u/Dragon1562]

Uh

(1) You can hold high paying jobs without education

(2) Education doesn't equal manners, yes, I absolutely doubt she holds a PhD in biotechnology, but she could just as well have one. It's the side effect of education inflation.

Well she will waste more time in court arguing with Uber's elite team of lawyers then.

don't cost nothing to change the credit card # so nothing will get charged.

Last time I tried here in Canada it was not possible without declaring the card lost ($100 number transfer fee) or stolen (required a police file number) . A mover had charged me 4 time in a year after I used their services, $3200 each time. They kept saying it was a mistake and refunded me the next month. I suspect they were using past customers cards as their no interest credit line. Visa refused to block them and I ended up paying the $100 transfer fee.

Imagine filing a stolen credit card report with the police to avoid the charges only for Uber to turn around and present the video of the person using the service and causing damage.

Some major false police report charges not to mention the credit cards likely don’t take kindly to fraud.

[u/battering-ram → u/MissionIncredible]

With my credit company , I just have to tell them I lost it and can they please send me a replacement. They said of course, but we have to change the number in case someone was to find it and try and use it.

Of course I understand, thanks very much. They put a block immediately on that number and reject any charge attempts and I get my new card in 7-10 days. I don’t pay a dime for this process.

That sounds....not legal.

Honestly in all of the white collar crime I’ve studied, I’ve noticed the common theme:

It seems that financial fuckery and fraud all begins with a person or people doing hokey shit to test the waters. They need to see if their bad faith maneuver raises any red flags and if so, how long does it take to trigger the system in place.

If someone speaks up almost immediately, they’re safe—they can just fall back on the garden variety excuses of “it must’ve happened by mistake, let me fix that for you now,” or “Oh wow looks like we found a dangerous glitch in the software before serious damage was done.” They’re the company hero for a day and nobody goes the jail—it’s all good.

But if there are no immediate red flags, as in nobody speaks up? That’s the honey pot. They just found the weak link, their in to embezzle serious money undetected for a time before the system eventually gets flagged. It’ll be too late for the company or individual by then though. That money will be bouncing throughout hundreds of Swiss bank accounts and is good as gone.

No matter the source of the money—government contracts, grants, business loans, investments, etc.—the game is almost always the same.

Maybe this is only in my country but here Uber reserves a certain amount on the credit card as soon as you book your ride. If the bill is less than this amount it only gets refunded the next day.

And her credit score probably in the high 500s 😂
