How to file a formal complaint against Uber

- Step 2: Submit a written complaintUber must acknowledge a written complaint within 5 business days under most national consumer rules. Send via certified mail or the brand's secure-message portal and keep proof.
- Step 3: File with the regulatorOpen a case with FTC — Federal Trade Commission at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov. The regulator will not adjudicate your specific dispute in most cases, but the brand must respond in writing within 30 days.
