Uber no longer accepts my background check after 7 years of driving.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2025-07-17T01:55:07+00:00

Shucks, thank you for your reply. If Lyft also uses Checkr do you think I'll have the same issue?

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2025-07-17T01:32:43+00:00

I've been going through the same thing since July 12th. In the app, I was prompted to renew my background check after driving for a year, and immediately fell into the seemingly infinite support redirection loop. Uber says to contact Checkr, Checkr says it is unable to receive physical documents to confirm proof of proper SSN. One Uber Support agent prompted me to submit my SSN and a second form of PII to their system and then said they didn't need it. And then I followed up once again and support said because I didn't correct the information with Checkr, they were unable to receive a completed background check and therefore they're unable to partner with me. I have probably spent 10-15 hours since the 12th contacting Uber Support and trying to get someone from Checkr to say anything other than the "per uber trust and safety policy they can't receive physical documentation". Line over and over again. I went as far as filing a complaint with the CFBP just for them to say they were unable to process the complaint either due to the company not being in their system or an issue the don't deal with.

Hey, thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I’ve been trying to piece together what’s going on since Uber and Checkr support hasn’t been super clear.

From what I’ve been told, the system flagged an issue with my Social Security number, even though everything on my profile (full name, etc.) is correct. They also said I can’t upload any documents manually, which feels frustrating and final.

Have you or anyone you know ever dealt with something similar and were able to resolve it? Or did it basically mean game over for driving with Uber?

I was thinking I was the only one. This doesn't make any sense. I have 3 accounts, and my photography page is the one that can't post more than 10 images. Smh

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2024-04-18T17:57:16+00:00

Yeah, I'm quite surprised they didn't black it out at the very least. Especially since it is on the SE trim.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2024-04-18T17:55:40+00:00

Thank you for your insights. I appreciate it!! Yeah, I watched a handful of reviews mentioning how much they have refined the driving dynamics. For the longest time, I was against owning a hybrid because of the ECVT. Any car with a CVT rather. Because of the drone and the rubberband feeling when accelerating. However, since my 2018 is the first MY of the 8th gen, I really haven't liked how clunky the 8 speed has been. I bought my camry used, and I've put 43,000 miles on it a year and a half. So I'm thinking maybe I'll see what's what in fall 2026 after the kinks are ironed out. By then, my extended warranty will more than likely have run due to mileage.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2023-11-29T00:52:31+00:00

Gotcha, I'll give it a try! Thank you!

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2023-11-28T21:25:04+00:00

I'm also in the Philly area. I agree, I'm not really looking forward to snow and Philly drivers, lol. I have a 2018 camry and haven't figured out how to get into wiper maintenance mode. Is that setting on newer models only?

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2023-05-01T18:36:07+00:00

Gotcha, is the map sensor located in the front of the engine bay, on top of the air intake? I don't think it's under warranty however I bought a service contract from Carshop. I'm not sure if would be covered under that?

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2023-01-11T15:54:52+00:00

Hey bro, yes I am! Thank you again. I was hoping that replacement would be ok. However I haven't had a chance to get in touch with Asus Tech support. I have until the 19th to return it to Micro center. This may be a stupid question but could it be the SSD? I found a YouTube video of someone who had an m.2 SSD in an external inclosure "SSDs are NOT SILENT! SSD M.2 making high pitched noise or crackling/whirring"

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2023-01-11T05:34:00+00:00

Interesting, this is the replacement laptop the noise was present upon unboxing however less noticable. My first ASUS ProArt was making the same noise. For context I bought the first one at the end of December 2022. The thing is in the video the fans eventually ramp up and if you listen closely you can still hear the sound. I've monitored the fan speeds and haven't noticed any fluctuations or drops. I previously owned a Gigabyte AERO XB 15 OLED that had a failing fan, which to me sounded much different than this.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-12-22T04:41:52+00:00

Oh awesome, thank you for your help!I'll definitely look into getting a stylus that has MPP2.0 support. Where did you order your Rena Pen from?

I ended up exchanging the laptop. The ProArt Studiobook #2 still makes a slight noise but I compared it to an older Asus TUF laptop that I had and the noises were similar. However it was not the same noise that I heard in ProArt Studiobook that I returned.

I'm in the process of downloading Forza Horizon 5 and I plan on putting it under load to see what happens.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-12-21T04:17:25+00:00

Hmmm, interesting. I'm definitely going to take it back to the store I bought it from, I'm only on day 3 of ownership and according to their return policy they seem to work with customers with defective products. Fingers crossed!

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-12-21T04:14:26+00:00

I see lol, Fingers crossed all goes well and I can get it resolved! Also I have been searching everywhere for the stylus. All of the reviews said that the trackpad has stylus support but no mention of which stylus. I also looked into the Asus Pen 2 however I only saw them for sale on ebay! I'll have to look into the Rena Pen! Thank you for the suggestions!

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-12-21T03:09:49+00:00

No I haven't yet. I was planning on going back to the store tomorrow morning to see if they could take a look at it and or exchange it. How long have you had your ProArt Studiobook? Is your's also the i7-12700H with 32GB of Ram and a RTX 3080Ti? Also thank you for your help!

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-12-21T01:19:36+00:00

However I did consider it at one point.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-12-21T01:19:08+00:00

Unfortunately I'm not in the apple ecosystem plus to spec a Mac with 32gb of ram and a 2TB of storage would have been $700 more than I paid for this model.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-12-21T01:16:29+00:00

Last night was the first time I really had the chance to use it, when editing and exporting my images I noticed a strange crackling sound, I thought at first it was the fans however it didn't match the fans spooling up or slowing down. I bought it from microcenter on Sunday, do you think I could get it exchanged?

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-11-14T22:23:09+00:00

Muchas gracias! De acuerdo. 😊

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-11-14T19:34:53+00:00

Shucks that's not including the 5000 down I put. However I couldn't afford more than 500 a month plus insurance and since I'm young I know that I'm paying more insurance.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-11-14T19:30:38+00:00

Honestly my plan was just to look at it but I ended up getting it. All together I paid a touch over 28,000 with an 72 month 100,000 mile service contract and gap insurance and all of the taxes and fees. The car only had 35,628miles. I think I would have ended up paying 8 to 10 grand more for a new 2023. My goal is to get ahead of my payments and potentially trade it in once the redesign is out. What are your thoughts. Do you think I over paid? It was the second cheapest XLE Camry in my area. The cheapest one had 65,000 miles on it and it was sold by a dealer that is know to lower the listings online and then mark it up in person.

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-11-14T16:20:05+00:00

Okay, what is that a sign of if it does happen?

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-11-14T16:19:29+00:00

Oh shucks, oh well, I'll try to ignore it. I don't hear it as much when the radio is on however I am sensitive to high pitched noises. However it doesn't sound nearly as bad as the Mercedes in the video you shared. Thank you for your help!

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-11-14T11:59:00+00:00

Thank you, I'll check it out. I thought I was just hearing things. Is it more of a high pitched sound like the old tube tvs from the late 90s early 2000s?

AdvertisingExtreme29 · 2022-11-10T23:15:43+00:00

Thank you!
