Sir/madam,
I booked a cab on 14th january 2018 at 8:29 pm for which i was charged 299.79 inr paid via paytm.
From: surya kiran building, vishweshwarapura, basavanagudi, bengaluru-560004, india
To: 1026, 1st cross road, 3rd stage, bhoomi reddy colony, new tippasandra, bengaluru-560075, india.
Car model: tata indica
I left my redmi note 3 (Broken screen) in the back seat of the car. The phone was charged to about 70% and in switched on condition. I tried to locate my phone by calling on the number:
+91 [protected] (Also the number used to book the cab)
But the phone was switched off an hour after drop off. I tried calling the driver through your uber app (Lost item locator query). The driver mostly did not pick the phone.
After several attempts, he picked up and mentioned that he had the phone and took our secondary contact number:
+91 [protected] and name.
So that he could contact us. But when we asked for his number, he replied vaguely and was not willing to listen to us.
He mentioned that he would come to indira nagar, bengaluru and give us a call so that we can come and collect it, but did not respond properly to our further queries regarding the time of meeting, etc and did not give out his number so that we could contact him directly and put the phone on hold abruptly while we were speaking.
As of 15th january 2018, 3:00 pm we did not receive any call from him, so we tried contacting him again through the uber app, but he replied in the same vague fashion and kept saying he will contact us when he comes to indira nagar, bengaluru.
We mentioned that we could come and collect it at any place he mentions but again he did not reply to this and cut the phone.
The phone is still switched off at the moment, whereas it should have been on at the current moment given the amount of battery it had.
The driver is now not picking up the calls from the uber helpline as well. So we have no means to contact him and he is not given us any update on how he could return the phone or how we can go and collect the phone.
The driver has been very vague in his replies about the same, we have recorded a conversation with him which would prove that he has the phone in his possession.
We request you to get in touch with the driver as he is a contractor with your company so he might be more responsive to your calls and you could ask him to do either of the following:
1. Deliver the phone to the uber office so that we can collect it from there [ since he keeps mentioning that he would come to indira nagar and deliver the phone but never does so].
2. Give us a location where we could meet him and collect the phone from him. [ to this also he did not want to negotiate a common meeting place].
3. If he agrees, then he could come to indira nagar as he has been mentioning in the two phone conversations we have had with him, and given that he would not be willing to come to the place without any scheduled trip, we are willing to pay the amount uber would charge for a trip from his location to indira nagar and back to his location if needed.
Please look into the matter as it is expected that the uber drivers be more cooperative towards customers especially in such situation. This would turn out to be an extremely bad experience for us as a rider with uber due to the actions of one driver not willing to talk to us about a lost item and switching off a perfectly charged and functioning phone by himself.
Thus, we would like you to get in touch with the driver and let us know what the situation is on the following contact points:
Phone number: +91 [protected]
Email id: nivedita. [protected]@yahoo.com, [protected]@gmail.com
The following are the details of the account used to book the cab so that you can track the trip:
Phone number: +91 [protected]
Name: nivedita sreejeth
We are expecting a swift response from uber as the service from your company has been satisfying up to this point.
Thank you
Nivedita sreejeth
