What Is This About?
Uber is facing two lawsuits over Uber One, its membership program that costs up to $9.99 a month. The first is a government case: the Federal Trade Commission sued Uber Technologies and Uber USA in April 2025, and 21 states and the District of Columbia joined in December 2025. The second is new. On October 1, 2026, a consumer filed a proposed class action, Jesus v. Uber Technologies, Inc., No. 3:26-cv-11205, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco. Both cases center on how people were signed up for Uber One and how hard it was to leave. Uber denies wrongdoing.Free settlement alerts

What Does the FTC Allege?

- Advertised that members would save about $25 a month without subtracting the membership fee of up to $9.99 a month.
- Charged some subscribers before their billing date, including people on free trials before the trial ended.
- Promised members could “cancel anytime” while making cancellation take as many as 23 screens and 32 actions, steering some users to customer support with no way to reach it, and billing some people again after they asked to cancel.
The states that joined in December 2025 are Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

What Is the New Uber One Class Action?
The private case was filed October 1, 2026 against Uber Technologies, Inc. and is assigned to the Northern District of California’s San Francisco division. The complaint itself was not yet available in public court databases when OCA checked on October 9, 2026, so OCA has not been able to confirm its proposed class definition, class period, legal claims or the law firms behind it, and is not relying on secondhand summaries. Uber had not filed a response as of October 8. OCA will add the complaint’s details once it can be verified from the court record.Unlike the FTC case, a private class action can seek money for the subscribers themselves. Whether any class is certified, and who would be in it, is for the court to decide later.
Where Does the FTC Case Stand?
The FTC case, Federal Trade Commission v. Uber Technologies, Inc., No. 4:25-cv-03477, is before U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar in Oakland. Uber has answered the complaint and is contesting the case, and the parties are in discovery. Under an August 2026 scheduling order, fact discovery closes November 16, 2026, dispositive motions are due April 5, 2027, and trial is set for September 20, 2027. A court-supervised settlement conference, originally set for October 13, 2026, was moved to January 26, 2027. There is no settlement.What Has Uber Said?
When the FTC sued in April 2025, an Uber spokesperson told CNBC that “Uber does not sign up or charge consumers without their consent, and cancellations can now be done anytime in-app and take most people 20 seconds or less.” Uber said it was disappointed by the lawsuit and confident the courts would rule in its favor.What Happens Next?
In the private case, Uber’s first response to the complaint is still to come, and cases like this often face a motion to dismiss or a motion to send claims to individual arbitration under the app’s terms of use. In the FTC case, the January 2027 settlement conference and the September 2027 trial date are the next major milestones. OCA will update this page as either case develops.Questions
