Uber Background Checks FCRA claim Form
In re Uber FCRA Litigation Case No. 3:14-cv-05200-EMC United States District Court for the Northern District of California
The lawsuit alleges that Defendants obtained consumer background check reports of independent transportation providers in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and related state laws (the “Background Check Laws”). The lawsuit asserts a number of causes of action, including alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.; the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (“ICRAA”), California Civil Code § 1786 et seq.; the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act (“CCRAA”), Cal. Civ. Code § 1785.1 et seq.; the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”) (limited to alleged violations of Cal. Labor Code §§ 1024.5 and 2699); the Massachusetts Consumer Credit Reporting Act (“MCRA”) M.G.L. c. 93 § 50 et seq.; and the Massachusetts Criminal Offender Record Information (“CORI”) Requirements, M.G.L. c. 6 § 171A et seq. Defendants vigorously deny and continue to dispute all of the claims and contentions alleged in the lawsuit, and deny any and all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability or damage of any kind. Defendants further deny they acted improperly or wrongfully in any way, and believe that the lawsuit has no merit. Defendants further contend that the transportation providers who use the Uber App are independent contractors and deny that the Background Check Laws apply to independent contractors. Defendants also contend that, absent a settlement, many of the individuals would be required to individually arbitrate their claims rather than proceeding on a class basis.

I was taken off the road for Uber after a background check.
This settlement has nothing to do with removal.

Hi Zitouni,
Please contact the Settlement Administrator directly:
LaShonda Bufford says:
I was denied Employment because of a Background Check
ADMIN – Hi LaShonda,
This has nothing to do with employment denial. This has to do with disclosures when pulling a background check.
I need the name of a attorney who helped with this case. I was just let go for a 2nd background check that I was not notified about. They are going public soon and are trying to look clean after the lawsuit filed by the two women who were raped. Please they have done this right before Christmas. I need to contact one of the lawyers to discuss a class action as I know others have been fired because of this by Uber. I had no new charges by the way. Same record I was hired with.
You can find the names of the attorneys under the FAQ.
Barney Bender says:

ADMIN – Hi Barney,
Use the link we provided above.
Armen Ifikchyan says:
I had a background check. I was Uber driver. And I considered as an independent contractor
ADMIN – Hi Armen,
I believe that makes you a member of the class.
Applied for job as a driver, and was background checked.
Per the terms of the settlement you appear to be a class member. Consider filing a claim.
Odell McCrea says:

ADMIN – Hi Odell,
Two years ago it was October of 2015. The class only includes those that applied before January 15
TERRY SEWELL says:
i worked with Uber for the past 1 year and a half…then they took me off line …they did a back ground check
If they did a background check you are a class member. File your claim.
I had to get a background check before I was cleared to work for Uber
Frimpong. Kusi says:
They make me do a background check 2015 and then they told me a lot of stories .hey I know I have a green background check but they did not call me anymore .hey I know I have a clean background that is nothing wrong with my background
ADMIN – Hi Frimpong,
Fantastic, how about you file a claim?
I had check performed on me
That means you are a class member.
Annabelle turner says:
I applied for a job with Uber
After seeing my record they didn’t want to use me
ADMIN – Hi Annabelle,
This settlement has to do with disclosure procedures.
Kenyatte Derr says:
I was working with Uber for a few months ,about 6, then they ran a second background check and took me off the platform
ADMIN – Hi Kenyatte,
This has nothing to do with the results of your background check. This settlement is about improper disclosure per FCRA rules.
I have been an Uber driver since August 28, 2014. They lost my account in January 2016 and I had to sign up again. They are monitoring my drink habits through the app on my phone which I feel is not right. What else are they looking at through your phone
How exactly are they monitoring your drinking habits?
Floria Pineset says:
i do quailfied for the settlement becasue of the back ground check
ADMIN – Hi Floria,
Fantastic! If you are a class member please follow the instructions to file a claim.
I applied as a driver and they back ground checked me also
I WAS DENIED EMPOLYMENT BECAUSE OF AN BACKGROUND CHECK
This is not related to employment denial. It has to do with proper disclosures.
Emma L Scales says:
I apply for them as driver and did a background check as well
That makes you a class member!
Eileen M Bulman says:

OLUFEMI ADEKILE says:
i drove for uber from 02/2015 to 04/16 , what will I do to get my claim
ADMIN – Hi Olufemi,
You are not a class member, please refer to the dates under class eligibility
Myron Reagins says:
What do I do if I received a post card with my claim number and I lost it. Should I just file the claim without the claim number?
Shewa Minota says:
Exactly I don’t know months it was 2014 to now am Uber driver they check my back ground two time they did…..I don’t know the reason my qualify to class?
ADMIN – Hi Shewa,
The class eligibility is as follows:
How can I locate the claim number? I called 1-855-770-4368 which is the only number I was given for information regarding the class action suit but, it’s completely automated and there is no option to retrieve your individual claim number to file a claim properly.
You will note that on top of the field intended for the claim number the ADMIN has included this disclosure:
Claim Number (If you did not receive a postcard or email with a Claim Number, please leave this field blank)
I got a claim number card by the mail but I still misunderstood what dose that means can somebody explain please?
It means there are certain disclosures they should have given you before running your background.
I was denied employment due to background check
ADMIN – Hi Mohamad,
This has nothing to do with employment denial. It has to do with legal disclosures.
Banipal baban says:
I enrolled with Uber 2013 and settlement claim number is UR1230574…received notification in mail…where do I claim the settlement portion…please advice..
ADMIN – Hi Banipal,
Scroll up and use the link that reads, click here to file a claim.
Matthew Van Lingen says:
What is it was after January 3rd, 2015?
If it was after the date you are not a member of the class and you are not entitled to any benefits under this settlement.
Petre Streche says:
Hi my name is Petre Streche iWork for uber sins 2014 on til 2016 October 28 then order for me abak ground check for this I qualified for the settlement thanks
ADMIN – Hi Petre,
I applied, background check and got a logo
If you background check took place during the time that makes you eligible you are a class member. Consider filing a claim.
hello my name is Elaine I took a background check.
ADMIN – Hello Elaine,
R wyse says:
Mitchell W Pryor says:
You got nothing????
Idy Diallo says:
I work for uber since 3 years . My legal rights are affected you said by Uber and you want to take action , I totally subscribe . Thank you .
ADMIN – Hi Idy,
Aside from totally subscribing you also have to file a claim if Uber ran a background check prior to the eligibility date. Without a claim you will get nothing.
So this class action is only prior to January 2015?
I just became a driver this year 2017 and a background check was done on me.
Your background was probably FCRA compliant.
Hello I had a background check through UBER not sure of the year I think it was 2015.
If it was before January 2015 you are a class member.
I too applied for a driving position with Uber and was subject to a background check. I assumed it was protocol. What do I do?
If it was prior to the date listed on the class eligibility you file a claim using the link provided.
Archie Chavis says:
I was denied employment after a background check. I applied to be a driver when they first started I kept getting the run around
If your background check was prior to the date listed on class eligibility you are a class member.
yuri loukianov says:
i had a background check through uber it was november 2014
ADMIN – Hi Yuri,
Based on the date of your background check you are a qualified class member.
I had a back ground check 2016
By 2016 I believe Uber was already FCRA compliant.
I tried several times and was denied due to background which j have good credit and no record
This has nothing to do with being employed or not. This settlement has to do with having proper disclosures prior to running a credit check.
Judy Winston says:
Judy Winston, I apply in 2015. I never got work from them, my car was 2013 chevy.
If it was before January you are a class member.
How much compensation am I expecting from the compensation,
Please scroll up and look at the section subtitled: “Estimated Amount” right next to it on the right you will see that the estimated amount is $27 to $62.
I used to drive for Uber as a driver. I stopped driving with my own will. I think it was 2015. However, first I would like to know how my information was passed on as I received an email on my personal email address. Second, even if I file a claim do I have to present myself in the court?
ADMIN – Hi Aamir,
They had access to your personal info because you included it on your application. This lawsuit is about failure to use certain legal disclosures when running a background check. You will not have to show up in court.
I submittted a request for the claim but did not sign it on the cell phone. I was wondering if I was able to be part of claim.
If the form was not digitally signed it does not count as a valid claim.
Good morning I was let go with Uber 12/26/2017 they say because of my background check that happened in 2012. I apply with Uber back in 2015. They ran my background I worked for two years with Uber. I am part of that class action law suit. Can anybody tell me if I can do something about them letting me go. I feel that they are letting people go who is in this class action law suit and I feel that that is not right. Is there anyway I can fight to get my job back or file a lawsuit against Uber for this being let go.
ADMIN -Hi Ronald,
Consider reaching out to a labor law attorney.
I started driving for uber well before 2015. So I believe I fall in that time frame
Hurry up and file. Tomorrow is the last day.
I had a background check by them but i do not remember that date. I think it was before 1/15. i got a card in the mail
If you got a card in the mail you are likely a class member. Hopefully you filed your claim.
I tried to work for Uber and was denied due to the background check
Unfortunately the deadline for this settlement has passed and you may no longer file.
I received a letter in the mail from Uber saying that My data was breached and I will have identity theft. I am a driver with them.
This is not a data breach settlement.
Is this the same thing?? 60 bucks seems low..
No, this is not a data breach settlement
Ahmed Dawid says:
I received alatter in the mail from uber!
ADMIN – Hi Ahmed,
Fantastic. What did the letter say?
Denice Harris says:
I got a postcard about the class action with a claim number I field a claim will I be notified by mail ? Or will I have write a letter. I have also move sent I got the claim how will I update my information ?
To inform the administrator of your move you need to write them a letter that includes your claim #
I received a claim number. I file a claim using that number. Uber did a back ground check on me with out my permission. They also texted me 4 days a week, even while I was in church from 2015 through 2017.
It sounds like you are a member of two different UBER settlements.
Payments are generally issued once all appeals have been resolved and the administrator has had the opportunity to validate all claims.
kelly wright duval says:
When was this settle. I have heard nothing.
The fairness hearing was on February 8. Now we wait for the class action administrator to post an update.
When will the class action administrator be paying an update? Are we talking about a month, six months or approximately how
long does it take for the update to be posted?
I have seen some instances in which it has taken up to a year to see an update. Your best bet is to contract the class action administrator.
Lawrence Cmar says:
I’ve been driving for Uber almost 4 years now and I did receive a postcard. And I did file a claim. How long do you think in till the situation is over and we get compensated? $62 seems kind of low don’t you think? Thank you for your time in reading this email and have a blessed day.
I have seen checks ranging from $30 to $3200, your best bet is to reach out to the class action administrator.
Breanna Wood says:
They did it to me too. I filed my claim on time. Has the case been resolved. I will help ib court if necessary. 630-524-8516. I have the original emails too. Thanks
ADMIN – Hi Breanna,
For updates on your claim reach out to the class action administrator.
I submitted a claim and would like to know how to follow up on the claim itself
ADMIN – Hi Tariq,
Scroll up and look for the contact information for the class action administrator.
Why am i only getting 67$?? Whats the point when its 7million$ lol
The settlements are divided among class members.
Willie Rice Jr. says:
I just received the same notice on yesterday. terminating my employment after two years.
ADMIN – Hi Willie,
Termination notice or class action notice.
Hi,what is the status of the uberfcra appeal it has been over two months now
No updates at this moment but the TCPA one was paid last week in case you were a class member.
Adrienne hollonquest says:
To get part of the settlement agreement would I have had to submitted a claim?
Olusegun Ogunlusi says:
Hello, I worked with Uber from 2013 to 2016 and obviously, I was background checked. I just received the post card today. I called the number on it and got directed to this website. How can I receive my own settlement?
ADMIN – Hi Olu,
Follow the instructions on the postcard.
Just wondering if settlement payments were sent yet or if there was any guess as to when they will be sent. Thank you!
I have not seen any reports regarding class members receiving checks.
Anyone get a update ?
Got a paypal payment today for $78.52
Mary M Swanstrom says:
I received a check in the amount of 78.52 and wondering if this check is legit and should I cash it
Banks are best qualified to let you know if a check is legit. Chances are it is.
I’m trying to cash the check at a pls check cashing place that’s why I’m asking you
I can’t see the check thus I am unable to confirm
Received Class Suit Check today
David J D'Angelo says:
I got a check today for $78.52 as well 🙂 thanks to these lawyers whoever you are. Enjoy your 6 or 7 figure check (I am not hating, I understand how class actions work. We all got paid so it’s deserved)
Inspiration to attend law school perhaps?
I didn’t opt out of the settlement. But still as yet have not received a settlement payment.
However I did receive a claim number.
Reach out to the class action administrator to check.
I received a settlement payment from the Uber class action lawsuit. The check is in the amount of $37.21 from Huntington National Bank. I want to verify this check is legit before depositing.
ADMIN – Hi LP,
Most likely it is true.
Lennon Turner says:

ADMIN – Hi Lennon,
