I am rejecting this response because: your bank was breached months ago this happened months ago you failed to alert us that the data breach was so severe and offer us 2 year of credit monitoring there for my account was hacked or you would not offer credit monitoring your company just doesn't want to pay because your scared of lawsuits if we're me I'd just pay the small amount 0breached vrs the class action suit that this breach could cause thousands of other ppl to ban together t

This is a grievance with UberPro Card, its bank is Evolve Bank & Trust.I have an ongoing dispute w/ Hertz Rent-A-Car as an Uber Driver utilizing a vehicle through their Rideshare Rental Program. To be brief, ****** system is charged/held funds of almost $1k from my UberPro Card debit card account causing issues w/ my rental payment. I returned the vehicle on 5/31/24 and I am waiting for the funds to be returned.Meanwhile, ***** charged my UberPro Card my balance causing my account to have a more than -$1,851.81.

BBB Team,
At 7:58am today I received an email from the UberPro Card staff. It is was sent from a non-reply email address. Also, theres no name, job title, or contact information listed on the email which are basic and standard information usually included when formulating a business email. Interesting business practice, but not reassuring at all.
I have no way of contacting anyone in that particular department. I telephoned their general *************************** and the best they could do was send this department an email informing them of my request for a callback. I happened to have an email correspondence with one of the Customer Support Supervisors from yesterday and sent two (2) emails. I still have not received any response whatsoever.
The email is basically informing me that a chargeback on the transaction will be initiated. As of an hour ago, four hours after the email was sent, the chargeback has not been processed, per my telephone convo w/ Customer Support earlier. But the chargeback is not my main concern.
My main concern and request was to have my Uber earnings deposited into another account so I can start earning actual income. The process of a chargeback can take up to 30 days.
As I mentioned prior, IT HAS BEEN ***** DAYS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EARN INCOME.
The switching of accounts of where the earnings are deposited into is actually a feature on the Uber app and is not uncommon to do. But because of a technicality, the negative balance, UberPro Card refuses to switch the accounts.
Pls. help!
Thank you.

BBB Team,
This is the non-reply email I received from the UberPro Card ************* yesterday 6/12/24 with no contact information whatsoever included for me to correspond with. This, in my opinion, is evident that they are avoiding and dodging the situation which is prolonging the matter unnecessarily, instead of truly trying to resolve the issue.
Also included is two emails that I sent to one of their supervisors that I was corresponding with before the issue was escalated to whoever sent this email requesting to pass along my email and for a callback. As of today I have not received any response.
Thank you!

They are unable to provide me with credit(s).
A payment plan is not an option.
The rental vehicle has to be returned.Through my several previous correspondences with the UberPro *********** I repeatedly mentioned that MY REQUEST IS TO SWITCH MY UBER EARNINGS DEPOSITS TO ANOTHER DEBIT CARD ACCOUNT.
I am not disputing the charges and therefore, not expecting a credit. I have not requested a payment plan with UberPro Card ************* The rental vehicle was returned since 6/7/24.
This is evident that this issue is prolonging because of complete mishandling. The email is addressing things I am not requesting. If they would just truly make real effort to review and understand everything thoroughly, there would not be this types of unnecessary delays and miscommunications. This is complete negligence on their part.
Maybe there is a language issue, I dont know? English is not the first language of many of these call center support staff. Perhaps because language is an issue, then comprehension of the matter is also an issue. Hence, the very bewildering emails they have been sending.
I am in dire need of help!!!
I am renting another vehicle from another company and payment for extension is DUE TODAY.

I am rejecting this response because:I am not requesting for provisional credit. I have repeated this multiple times. I am requesting that any future earnings on my UberDrive account be deposited into another debit card account I have with another bank.
If this is not possible, pls. close/terminate my UberPro Card account asap.

BBB Team,
I the most recent reply from Evolve Bank & Trust mentions they are not able to provide any provisional credit. I am not requesting provisional credit. Maybe, Im not understanding something, but I have repeated over & over that my request is to switch the debit card account my UberDriver app earnings are deposited into to another debit card I have w/ another bank.
Also, I received an email from Branch Support, the company partnered w/ Evolve Bank & Trust. Their reply is 2-3 days after my last email w/ them, very delayed. They are claiming they are unable to switch the debit card accounts from UberPro Card to another debit card I have w/ another bank because of the negative balance on the UberPro Card account. Also, they are telling me that the matter should be discussed w/ the UberDriver ************* The UberDriver ************* is doing the same thing they are doing, pointing the finger at each other. Both departments essentially work under the Uber brand. Why cant they communicate w/ each other to resolve this instead of having me communicate w/ them separately and told to speak to the other department.
We have established that the negative balance on the UberPro Card account is no fault of mine whatsoever. The circumstances that have transpired are a little more unique and require more consideration.
Due to this ongoing back & forth that has brought any type of resolution, AS OF TODAY, I AM REQUESTING MY UBERPRO DEBIT CARD ACCOUNT TO BE CLOSED/TERMINATED ASAP.
Thank you!

As of today I am requesting Branch Support (UberPro *********** to close my account ASAP and to disburse to me $225, the balance in my ************.
On 6/20/24, a second dispute was executed on the charges w/ ***************-A-Car. I did not request this second attempt to do chargeback. I went along with it thinking that considering all things, this would yield a much quicker result. It has not. And based on an email I was sent today, it will continue to drag on.
Today, again after 2-3 days after my last email to them, I received an email. In their email I am given an update of the second dispute. However, there was no mention or update on my request to disburse my ************ balance of $225 to me. This is again, a reflection on how Branch Support consistently has overlooked details and information in the correspondences weve had.
I have no faith that they are able to do anything productive. Therefore, I would like my account closed and $225 from my ************ disbursed to me ASAP.

Hello ******, thank you for reaching out. Branch cannot close the account per request, due to the negative balance and the outstanding back up balance.

06/26/2024
Complaint: 21834838
I am rejecting this response because:The negative balance is a result of electronic efficiencies. I am not at fault. Todays world operates with technology (apps, algorithms, programs, etc.), but the technology is not perfect. The human component has to operate in tandem w/ the technology because situations like this require discernment, thoughtfulness, and understanding of the context of the situation.
I accept the charges from Hertz 100%. But because this mix-up is no fault of mine, I am asking that somehow I am allowed earn at least a little income for myself for things such as food, cellphone bill, credit card bills, etc. It will take about 2 weeks or more to replenish the negative balance. In those 2-3 weeks I will not be making any income for myself. Thats in addition to the 3-4 weeks that has already passed.
The situation will only worsen. For instance, if I am unable to pay my cellphone bill and lose service, I wont be able to drive at all. And therefore, will not be able to replenish the negative balance.
To survive, I have been borrowing money from family & friends. Also, I re-started DoorDash deliveries, however the earnings compared to rideshare are significant. Especially since I was not active on DoorDash for months. So, for the first 2-3 weeks back on DoorDash my earnings were very low.
Surely, there has to be a workaround to this. Maybe having my earnings alternate between being deposited into the UberPro Card account and another debit card account: First earnings goes to negative balance, next earnings goes to me, so on and so forth. Something, anything.
Or, process the chargeback and inform ***** that because this mix-up is a result of their system, they will have to send me an invoice instead of force charging my UberPro Card account.

Further, at the very beginning of all of this, my first course of action was to dispute the charges and expect a chargeback to be processed with Hertz because it is their system that caused all of this in the first place. Again, I have attached a copy of the transactions ***** had/has on hold that causes this mix-up. I also attached a copy of correspondence from ***** admitting to the errors & inefficiencies of their system.
The only reason I requested to try to switch the debit card accounts and eventually, to close the account was because the initial chargeback did not go through.
Since another chargeback has been filed and pending the BRANCH SUPPORT ***** NEEDS TO HOLD HERTZ ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ERRORS & INEFFICIENCIES OF THEIR SYSTEM AND PROCESS THE CHARGEBACK. IT IS UNETHICAL AND UNFAIR FOR HERTZ TO DO A FORCE CHARGE ON MY DEBIT CARD IF THEIR SYSTEM IS THE CAUSE AND ROOT OF THIS. ***** SHOULD EMAIL AN INVOICE TO ME FOR ANY OUTSTANDING BALANCE.

BBB Team,
Hello, I hope all is well w/ you. I have not haf any correspondence/update from UberPronCard Branch Support since 6/26/24.
I would like an update on the following:
*Freezing of UberPro Card Account: Why? Not only did they refuse to close or switch the debit card account in question, they also blocked any future earnings being deposited into their debit card account. This is yet another example of the ever bewildering and frustrating practices of the UberPro Card Branch *************
*When will I receive the $225 in Savings Funds? This is my personal money that I set aside.
*Why hasn't the 2nd chargeback attempt been processed and Hertz held accountable for the errors of their system?
Whether or not this case will be resolved in the near future, I would like to be explicitly clear that based on this experience the UberPro Card Branch ************* has many inefficiencies with procedures on handling cases of this nature. Further, the Branch ************* has failed in the handling of this matter in a professional and timely manner. It has been over four weeks now and instead of a resolution, more issues have raised. I have lost all confidence and faith with the Branch *************

You already mentioned that the pay-out destination account cannot be changed. If you review my last correspondence closely, I was asking, Why? Is it because the company policies do not allow it or is it because the UberPro Card app (technology) is an unable to perform this task and your IT ***** is unable to do anything about it?

BBB *************************************** & Trusts last 2 correspondences only inform me that changing the payout destination is not possible due to the negative balance. Also, that the chargeback dispute with ***** may take up to 90 days.
This is information they already mentioned.
I HAVE OTHER INQUIRIES THAT HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY OVERLOOKED. I HAVE THEM LISTED BELOW (AGAIN):
Currently, when I complete a ride on the Uber app, the earnings cant even get deposited into the UberPro Card account because its on Freeze. So not only have they not allowed to change the payout destination account, but THEY HAVE PUT A FREEZE ON THEIR OWN ACCOUNT SO I CANT EVEN START TO PAY-OFF THE NEGATIVE BALANCE.
Disbursement of the $225 in the Savings Funds. Simply, PLEASE HAVE THESE PEOPLE GIVE ME MY MONEY. THIS IS MONEY I SET ASIDE IN THE SAVINGS FUNDS feature of their app.
Clarification on why payout destination account cannot be changed. I understand it is because of the negative balance. But, Id like to know if it is a decision based on their policies or if it is based on technical limitations i.e. is it because the app will not allow it and their technical department (IT ****** is unable/unequipped to perform this task.

So not only was the changing of payment destination not permitted, any future earnings can’t even get deposited into the UberPro Card account to start paying-off the negative balance. Please remove the freeze ASAP.•$225 Savings Funds Disbursement
Simply, in the most basic way I can communicate this, PLEASE GIVE ME MY MONEY. This is money I set aside in the Savings Funds feature of the app.•Payment Destination Denial Clarification

So not only was the changing of payment destination not permitted, any future earnings can’t even get deposited into the UberPro Card account to start paying-off the negative balance. Please remove the freeze ASAP.
•$225 Savings Funds Disbursement
Simply, in the most basic way I can communicate this, PLEASE GIVE ME MY MONEY. This is money I set aside in the Savings Funds feature of the app.
•Payment Destination Denial Clarification
Is the reason for not being able to change the payment destination because of policy or because the app is not able to perform this task and the IT Dept. is unable to make adjustments/tweaks in the app to make this possible?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Manuel Medina

BBB Team,
This is the cookie cutter response I received that DOES NOT address the additional issues I have brought up in multiple previous correspondences. As an example, please see my last correspondence to Evolve Bank & Trust.
Thank you.

Hi Manuel, There is no lock or freeze on your account preventing new funding from coming onto the account. There is the negative balance that will consume any funds added to the checking, this includes your savings, even if its transferred over. The change of payment destination is because of policy.

B9 has researched this customer's complaint and were able to determine the root cause. This customer was briefly impacted by a service outage by one of our service providers. The issue has since been identified and resolved with the account credited 5/30 as intended. The customer is encouraged to contact B9 if they are continuing to have issues with their deposit.Initial Complaint

I transferred my direct deposit of my only income, social security disability, to the B9 program run by Evolve Bank. Since then, I have experienced the absolute worst in customer service, and banking with shady, if not illegal practices. It took ************************************************************* the meantime, I was charged 2.50 every time I had to transfer money to another card so I could handle day to day expenses. Unfortunately, ach transfers are not feasible for me, I can't wait the 1-3 days necessary on those transactions. Without a physical debit card, I had no choice but be victimized by these exorbitant fees. I was also charged extra for after hours customer service, which isn't really a true statement due to long waits for response to issues and a $9.99 monthly fee for nothing. They ran an offer where if I rated their service on ****** Play, I would receive $5. Naturally, I gave them the rating they deserve, one star out of five. I was then told by customer service that the $5 only goes to those who rate them $5, and is a bribe in order to raise their customer satisfaction scores. I want the fees that were charged for my transactions that would have not been necessary with my physical card, which I believe was sent slowly in order to raise, my monthly fees, the money extorted for after hours customer service and the $5 bribe which is not explained in advance. I am currently trying to switch my direct deposit with social security, and am experiencing some problems, then hopefully I won't have to deal with these thieves anymore.Customer response

A review of our records indicates that you reached out regarding the receipt of your debit card on 5/15, after which a new card was promptly issued and received on 5/25. We understand that it can be frustrating waiting on service; however, it is not B9's practice to needlessly push fees. We encourage our customers to use fee free transfer options whenever possible. Regarding the reward, B9 issues the $5 directly to our customers account after receipt of a screenshot of the review. This is a manual process that can take up to a week. After successfully locating your review, we have processed the $5 reward, and you will receive it shortly.Customer response

I am rejecting this response because:
No action was taken pertaining to the fees that were possibly illegally and definitely immorally collected. I appreciate the $5 from the stunt to bribe members in order to increase your ratings,but feel like people need to know that they are dealing with a company willing to do something as disingenuous and duplicitous. I also would like to see the concept of requiring your customers to pay extra in order to get access to customer service revised. It's wrong and horrible practice. I would like my fees returned in order to drop this matter, including the $2.50 penalty for cash app and PayPal transactions, the fee for customer service and the $9.99 monthly fee that is for no apparent reason, to be returned.
