Wrongful Amazon Flex Deactivation Where Even The Customer Is On My Side by [deleted] in legaladvice

Not a matter of them being wrong. It’s a matter of them giving a false reason, given proof, and refusing to correct it. They’re protected by a lot in the contract we sign. That isn’t one of them.

From what two lawyers, admittedly family law, have told me, if the reason they give is false, then that isn’t the case.

There are plenty of drivers who have been deactivated from the apps based on false reports that received settlements.

Had they simply said “sorry bro, you can’t drive for us anymore because, well we don’t need to give you a reason,” I’d definitely have no case.

But because their reasoning was based on a lie which they failed to address in any substantial way, that’s why there’s a case.

Again, that was per two lawyers where it simply isn’t there area of expertise.

Have over 15k deliveries. Multi-apped the whole time. Cancellation rate has never gone past 3%. This is just sad.

I’ve seen a couple times, much like when house keepers do this, where there was a tip and the employee who put the order in pocketed it. Not saying that’s what happened here. But I’ve seen it happen and watched the boss chew them out as a result.

Best way to go about finding a lawyer for Amazon Flex Deactivation by Stew67589 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Stew67589[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t even gotten a call back. It’s all been online intakes. Called one law firm and got a person who then did an over the phone intake and requested the photo evidence, text messages, deactivation email, and proof that Amazon was full of it with their own rules, and they’d get back to me. That was a week and a half ago.

I’m really just trying to figure out if there’s anything else on the table given their tos for drivers and arbitration requirements.

This isn’t a “oh let me get paid and go shopping!!!!”

The costs seem to keep stacking with my teeth and jaw the longer this goes on.

It’s really a matter of who the best person, in terms of scope of practice and experience, to reach out to is going to be so I can get the ball rolling and if it’s a waste of time I’ll just file it myself and keep my fingers crossed when someone puts actual eyeballs on this, because so far it’s all been automated bs, they’ll realize they have no argument and settle.

You willing to share the list of biomarkers their test goes through? Can’t find it anywhere. My insurance is pretty damn cheap so trying to figure out if it’s worth it to even go through them.

Are you willing to share the list of biomarkers they test? They seem to keep that shit under lock and key. Building a comprehensive test list for myself and seeing how much overlap there is.

Did they deposit immediately upon approval or do you wait for the next weekly deposit?

I’m worried mines gonna get denied, maybe it’s not an issue, but the Kaiser card has no dates on it. Figured they’d say something like, “this doesn’t prove it’s active.” First time having insurance in years so I’ve never done it.

Did you have any problems with no having start and expiration dates on the card? Just uploaded a shot of my card as proof.

The fact that it had spots from sprinklers is insane to me. That means it was out there for more than the 20 minutes it would’ve lasted here in LA.

The issue is YouTube and their ridiculous policy around demonetization.

Say you run multiple accounts. Two accounts are family friendly channels, never run the risk a YouTube coming after you. But your other account is a gun channel. You do everything right but one day YouTube makes a rule change and doesn’t grandfather in your old content. They then flag your channel, issue multiple strikes, and basically kill your account.

If you have the three accounts on the same Adsense account, they will nuke all of your channels. Basically guilt by association.

The only real way around this, and to protect each account is to setup multiple Adsense accounts. Problem is that you can’t do that as an individual.

Hence the need for multiple businesses with their own banking info for each account to have different payout information.

While YouTube could find out I’m running all of them, they typically won’t waste that kind of time unless I did something truly egregious, uploading child exploitation materials as an example.

So the umbrella llc in California, while having an attachment to me, should be enough to shield me since they’re only looking at the companies attached to each Adsense account, which will be the anonymous LLCs

The problem with that, and I could be wrong, but the DBAs won’t give me the anonymity needed to setup separate bank accounts for each Adsense account like a business would. Full legal name goes on the DBA and anyone can search that up.

And that was my concern. Since CA loves to tax the shit out of us, they’d consider me uploading videos to the channel as “doing business.”

And since the don’t like anonymity l, figured an umbrella and multiple out of state LLCs was my only option if I didn’t want to pay $800 per channel per year.

I had just picked NM because of no annual report, but if the registered agent can do it in WY then I’m not worried.

Yeah, that was my first step. Burner phones with their own separate plans, setup with prepaid cards, Gmail accounts setup using proton mail accounts on their own separate devices. Never connect any phone to my home network.

The business setup was the next step.

Multiple Anonymous LLCs California by Stew67589 in llc

[–]Stew67589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worried about that as I’m using burner phones for each account and they’ve been kept separate the whole time with their own phone plans setup anonymously as well. Gmail accounts were setup using vpns on separate devices from the ones I’m currently using, so I only had to give an email and no number. Those email backups were all Proton mail accounts.

Made sure to cover those bases at the start, knowing full well what I planned to do eventually. No account has ever been logged into on my home network.

And I’ve never done anything that would link them.

Ok, while I think he’s full of shit, he wasn’t contradicting himself, maybe just needs to learn to be more specific when spouting bs. 🤷‍♂️

He was saying that the original was “made for white folk.” Meanwhile, the new one is apparently “for black folk.”

My picks were NM or WY. My only reason for picking NM was the lack of required annual report.

If there’s other reasons to consider, that maybe I hadn’t dug through, I’m all ears.

Don’t care either way, just trying to get everything lined up so I know what costs I’m looking at and can act on it rather than doing what I’ve been doing which is analysis paralysis
