I fell out with Bolt. I uploaded a bank account statement and they said the address doesn't match my driving licence address. The addresses are the same but they refuse to look at the documents again and just try to solicit more documents. Given that we're dealing with potentially sensitive financial and identification documents and I have already submitted them I refuse to submit them again and opted to submit a general data access request instead in accordance with data protection legislation.
I fell out with Uber fer similar reasons, but what I have found in the mean time is that if I keep my status very high on just the 1 app, then I do get spoon-fed from that app.

I'm not really that bothered, Ken. I haven't used Bolt since I reactivated my Uber account because the document upload system didn't work for me. I just gave it another try last week 'cos I had to buy a new phone (another ton out of pocket) the previous week - long story, the charger I was using for both my old phone and the Laptop killed both. The Laptop recovered after being left unplugged overnight but the phone didn't but would work as a hand warmer as all it does now is get extremely hot when plugged in. I managed to upload the requested documents but they replied stating that my bank account was rejected because the address doesn't match my driving licence. I only have one address so it does match but may be in a different format or one might contain the Eircode and the other not. As I was busy doing fuckall this morning I decided to send them an email and, to be fair, they replied almost instantly but were hung up on getting more documents from me. I don't know why they want a bank statement anyway, Free Now didn't and Uber only required the certificate of account ownership or whatever it's called so I'm reluctant to furnish them with any more such documents. There comes a point where you have to question is it's just a scam aiming to lift as much data as they can. In any event there was never enough work on it to justify all that hassle.

BTW, Ken... it's the same bank account as they have already paid my wages into... having done so for quite some time before suddenly wanting to harvest statements.

I was the same with Uber, my bank account said Ken but my Taxi license said Kenneth, it took 9 months of chatting to A1 Bots to get sorted, and then they emailed me telling me that my insurance was about to expire in so many days time and to upload the new one, which I did, only to have it rejected because THE DATE IS IN THE FUTURE !!

Between that and the VAT issue I gave up on them.

Well, as far as I recall, you never actually worked for Uber. I did work for Bolt and got my wages paid into the bank account they've now rejected.

I did work fer Uber fer 9 months after the Bank/Name issue was eventually resolved.
I never really understood the VAT issue, so I was happy to walk away when the insurance details became a problem.

I would guess that most of ye tech savvy nerds have this sussed already but I'll post it anyways.

As a newbie multiple app user, as in Uber and FN, a colleague of mine gave me this tip.
When I have just one App open and online the clock in the top Left hand corner is in plain colour, as below.

Not seeing any difference, Ken other than them being different apps. I'm sure you're making a point but I'm fucked if I know what it is!

Black, judging by the photos... but, to my eye anyway, it's the same in both screenshots.
