    My Uber Driver account was deactivated because of an erroneous background check submitted to them by this company and it could potentially cause me to get evicted. This company incorrectly reported to **** that my drivers license is expired. After figuring out that there is no way to speak to a human at this company I contacted ****. **** informed me that they have a a copy of my drivers license and they can clearly see that its not expired. Why doesnt Samba cross check its findings with the records of its vendors? To get it fixed I was told to submit a dispute and wait thirty days which in my opinion is way too long because my rent is due in a couple of weeks and I need to be able to work to pay it. This is not right at all and I shouldnt have to wait that long for them to fix an error that has the potential to inflict unbearable financial harm and homelessness. Its an emergency that needs to be fixed ASAP. This is not right at all.

    Dear Mr. **** we have received and have now responded to your dispute. We have confirmed that we reported your license status as 'valid' to your potential employer. Please note that we do not make any hiring decisions but pass on a public record.

    Would give zero stars. I guess this is my fault. Was told had more software that aligned with our operation and would be adding others. Well did not have much for how we operate. Waited for the other info to be added. Never happened. Would like to stop the account which we have had for 3 years. Has not been used I. The last year. But they want more money for us to end the relationship. Wow. What kind of company is this. Clearly not looking out for the people more worried about their money. Not someone I ever want to do business with.

    you have to email them, can not ever get anyone on the phone for help! Samba replied through an email about the question i had about if a driver renews their DL, the new expiration date on the DL does not update in the Samba platform/system until you purchase another MVR with Samba even though the DL has been renewed, what a money hungry company this is! I mean i thought that is why people and companies used this platform to update all this information while paying for their services.

    SambaSafety provides support via our dedicated team of Customer Support Representatives. We close a majority of our cases within 1 hour upon receipt of the initial inquiry. This case was opened at 10:06 AM MST and we were able to research and provide an answer back by 10:54 AM MST on the same day. A driver license expiration date is data that is provided by state governmental agencies. SambaSafety cannot update any information related to a state issued drivers license without the customer running a new Motor Vehicle Record. This process is well documented and discussed with customers throughout their onboarding process with SambaSafety. We understand our customers have a lot to work through with keeping drivers on the road and believe that our solutions aid them in accomplishing that mission.

    They say my drivers license is suspended when it is not. No one will answer calls, no one will return calls, they do not update disputes. If you email them they give an automated email reply that does nothing. I will take them to court over lost wages.

    They got me deactived from **** over a driving citation that was minor and nearly 2 years old.That same citation showed up in over 7 background checks over the last year and a half on Checkr and nothing ever came of it. They are using an old citation against me that didn't count toward any points against my driver's license, I don't k ow if they have someone looking at it or they're using crude AI algorithms to interpret key words.But that's not the worse part, the worse part is nobody communicates. You can't reach anyone on the phone, you can file a dispute but I've heard that can take weeks sometimes months to resolve and I don't have time. I probably won't get back any money I lose during this indefinite period.If they're gonna make decisions that will have adverse effects on people's lives they need to have someone at the ready to listen to their concerns immediately.I'm literally wondering if I should now go to the media or seek legal council because this is a common complaint against this company and their extreme negligence on handling these issues effects people's lives adversely.

    I have been dropped from UBER because this company has stated that my license is not valid/Suspended which is incorrect. I have sent my dispute in & its taking forever. Holding up people who have these types of jobs as their main income up from working & making a living.

    Dear ********************, we received your dispute through our direct website. As mentioned in our response, we determined your license status was correctly reported as suspended based on the data received from the State of Virginia. Here are some important points to consider:
    - Initiating a dispute does not result in a re-run of your ***.
    - If you have changed states, acquired a new driver's license number, renewed or if the *** information is outdated, we recommend reaching out to your employer or insurance company to request a re-run of your *** through **************** Inc.

    Next steps to consider:
    - Confirm with your employer/insurance company that they have your current driver's license number and the state of issuance on file with them.

    Lastly, please be aware that **************** Inc. does not play a role in hiring or approval decisions. The company you applied to independently determines the records considered for employment based on its specific requirements.
