Careem unjustified charges, strange behaviour of captain and silence of careem towards complaint

This is to lodge a complaint against the strange behavior of the Careem car booking app followed by a totally weird behavior by its captains.

It was May 18, 2017, Thursday afternoon, when as practice I booked Careem car using the mobile app through my mobile phone [protected]. I was at Statelife Building # 3, Dr.Ziauddin Ahmed Road, Karachi and the ride was booked for Chai Shai at Saba Avenue.

The notification about the captain that I received was of Ikram(details of the number and attempts of dialed calls can be seen at the attachment). When I dialed the received number, he told that he’s at teen talwar and will reach me in 15 mins. Yet, after this initial call he never received my calls. Trusting Careem I didn’t take screen shots of the details of Captain Ikram, else, I would have shared the details of make and registration number of this car, however, this experience has alert me to do so whenever I intend to book a ride with careem.

Meanwhile, to my surprise, I received the message from Careem intimating me about the arrival of the captain named Ibrahim Ghulam Farooq, possessing Subaru Pleo, Whiite, BHU-980 and the contact number that I received in the same message was [protected]. (details of the number and attempts of dialed calls can be seen at the attachment)

The most strange part of this case is that when I told Ibrahim that my brother is to travel with him and I added the call to help both the person locate each other, Captain Ibrahim went silent and while I was on the call, he cancelled the ride. These two actions i-e cancellation of ride and not talking to the man raised concerns to me. Later, I booked the ride with Careem captain Sabih Haider and had a pleasant experience

Despite the concerns, I did not write Careem, as I always have superb experience with the captains and also with its customer service.

Nonetheless, today when I checked into the app to book the ride, I found negative balance of Rs. 124 and that in the case when I paid 250 for the ride of 224 rupees. Careem management should make such arrangements that the Client should also know the reason of ride cancellation by the Captain, incase if the Captain is cheating on and also, the calls of all Captains should be recorded as safety measures

I request you to look into the matter and donot charge the fee to me for the captains’ issue. If required the captain's case shall be forwarded to CPLC for this strange behavior and necessary justice for all clients. Careem customer service could also check the call records.

Careem I am complaining about captain not turning up at pick up location in a scheduled ride even though careem texted me captain has arrived.

I scheduler a ride on 22 may 2017 at 6.15-6.30 am. In the morning of 22nd may at 5: 26, i got the following text.
"Your Careem is here. Captain is Muhammad Fasih Qayoom, +[protected]. Toyota Corolla Go Plus, Black, ATW-676. Have a pleasant ride!"
I activated my careem app to locate driver's location but he was nowhere on the map. I called him three times between 6:20 to 6:25 buy he did not respond even once. As i had a bus to catch and could not afford being late ( the whole point of scheduling a ride in the first place) i called another captain using careem go now option. Later the captain with whom i had scheduled a ride cancelled it. Now in my careem app, i have -270 credit for scheduling the ride and not using it. I mentioned pickup and drop off locations clearly and waited patiently for the captain. It is unfair i have to pay fine for something i didn't do. This is my first bad experience with careem. I hope careem customer service gives me a reason to continue using the app. Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Have a good day.
My account has been blocked, I went into the careem Head office Islamabad and acknowledged my mistake. The officer in the careem office insisted that he could not help me in this regard. They told me That I can email on go@careem.com
Last night I contacted by email. So he said, please contact Islamabad Head Office.
I started working with careem by resigning from my textile job 1 months ago. And worked hard. And I did not even think about my mistake, if I had been aware, I would never have done such a mistake.
I am the father of four children's. and I live in the rental house, and I am very upset due to work.
I apologize with careem management, giving a guarantee that there will be no complaint from me in the future.
So, once a chance, I would be grateful to the cream administration.

Best Regards.

Careem unethical behaviour

The day before yesterday, on 17th May 2017, I booked Careem from Defence phase 5 A street. I got confirmation of arrival but when I stepped out of my house, I didn't find the vehicle. I called careem office and they sent the details of the captain.
When I called the captain he blamed me for canceling the ride. I told him that I did not cancel to which he suggested that I should cancel the ride. He was rude and I told him that I will not cancel it or I have to pay for no reason. after 15 minutes he canceled it himself.
I was charged for this which I found unethical. the amount was very conveniently deducted from my wallet. I felt very annoyed and disappointed. I request the amount back in my wallet.
The details of the captain are
Nasir Khan, 923 [protected], Suzuki Alto, White-BDM-208 Karachi

Organization, responsibility and confidence seems lacking. People with knowledge, sensible and responsible with confidence be placed at Customer Services.

Yesterday May 15, 2017, I filled the form for signing partnership docs. at home. I gave time 12 to 3 PM, till now nobody showed up. No communications. I bound myself to be available during the given window.

Wish them all the best and hope they will hire experienced personnel who can handle Customers with Care, Aijaz [protected]

My fare was 326.i paid to driver 500 but he said that due to not having change he will add the rest amount in my credit. There were 18 rs already in credit but later on when I checked, it turned into zero PKR. It's not a matter of few rupees but it's a matter of credibility. The driver name is Muhammad Imran.contact # +[protected]. It was Toyota corolla black LEA-4495.

Careem bonus

Respect sir,
on 3rd of April 2017 i took 3 rides put of which on 2 rides on which i got 500 500 and a sum of 1000 rupees bonus and on the third i got 460 rupees. Then on 5th of April this sum of Money was subtracted from my circle. why? No reason was bothered to be given.
kindly add the sum taken back to my account. If this is because of your software. a petty mistake? Then i am afraid to think the possibility of this happening every time we take rides and our money being subtracted from our accounts.
there are more complaints to be solved. but this is one huge problem that immediately needs to be solved.
