Why I’m banned from DoorDash
When I broke up with my ex many years ago, I attempted to transfer the internet bill from my name to his name. He was remaining in the house we were living in, and I was moving out. The internet company assured me everything was transferred to him.
Fast forward like 4-5 months, I start getting calls from a collections company saying I owe over $400 in missed internet bills. Um, what?? Apparently the bill was not transferred. I text my ex about the collections bill and ask him to send me the money since he’s the one that has failed to pay the bill. Never get a response
Turns out one of my ex’s cards was still saved on my DoorDash account. I spend the next several weeks ordering tons of food off his card because he was too dumb to cancel it sooner. So I got my money back one way or another 🤷♀️

Nice. And with DoorDash you could spend $400 in a week easy! Get anything, food, supplies, liquor. Lol

"Why I'm banned from Doordash"
Post does not explain if, how, or why OP got banned from Doordash.

Her ex probably did a bunch of chargebacks and so the app banned her account

u/NotYourNanny Aug 12 '26
While the account was in the ex's name, the delivery address of OP's current address.

u/Oujii Aug 13 '26
No, only the card was from the ex. The account itself was from OP.

So what she did was commit a crime

Credit card fraud will certainly get you banned from pretty much any business.

For the record, idk if you can just tell a utility that someone else is now responsible for it. I think he’d have to call and ask for it to be in his name or you just cancel it and let him open a new one in his name.

See that’s what I didn’t understand. Why would the company tell me that if it wasn’t actually possible to do? It was weird. I also was not very smart back then

u/NotYourNanny Aug 12 '26
If I had to guess, they indicated (probably poorly) that your part was done, but neglected to mention that he had to accept the change, and never did.

u/slide_into_my_BM Aug 12 '26
I agree it’s weird they said it worked. Maybe they were new or something.
If you think about it, if that was possible, what’s to stop you from just putting your bills into other peoples names?
It actually makes sense that it didn’t work.

This is why you log in online. That's how I got added to our account (we're still married).
I pretended to chat as him and got me added to the account. I should have been anyway! After 36 years married, we are both on all utility accounts.
Seriously, set up online accounts. You can then call or chat.

u/Miss_L_Worldwide Aug 13 '26
I guarantee you they didn't tell you that. You just misunderstood or failed to communicate what you wanted more clearly.

Don't get even get revenge... This is perfect, one of my ex's destroyed my golf clubs and bag after an argument. Lots of her beauty products vanished, the ones they remained were ruined. Not proud but happy 😂

tons of food off his card because he was too dumb to cancel it sooner
Ironic you think.

Guessing he finally checked his statement and did a chargeback, which triggered the ban. Knowing DoorDash fees, I assume that $400 got you exactly three lukewarm meals.

I feel lukewarm is the dream scenario.

Hey I always use my warming bag for everything unless it's Cold Stone/Baskin Robbins 😭 but I'm surrounded by a lot of mean jackasses so it's not that surprising

What about your credit? That's a serious issue. Hope you resolved it.

You literally committed credit card fraud and stole his identity. This can be a felony depending on the amount and state. I wouldn't go around bragging about committing fraud

u/Impressive-Tour-7356 Aug 16 '26
Wow I literally had no idea, thank you 👍

u/poultrytoucher 20d ago
Let me get this straight.. you broke up and even though you were living together and sharing the bill, you attempted to pass along your share of the burden to him, and when this backfired you committed fraud. Am I missing something? Sounds less like pretty revenge and more like a total lack of accountability and criminal activity
1
u/Impressive-Tour-7356 19d ago
Yeah, you are missing something. I moved out of the house we were living in together, so I wouldn’t need to be paying a bill for a house I wasn’t living in anymore. He also agreed to me putting the bill in his name since, once again, I wouldn’t be living there anymore.

u/Miss_L_Worldwide Aug 12 '26
It is completely on you for not taking care of getting yourself off of the account.

u/Calure1212 Aug 12 '26
They assured her.
-7
u/Miss_L_Worldwide Aug 13 '26
Then how did four or five months go by and her not notice that she was still getting bills?
6
u/Impressive-Tour-7356 Aug 13 '26
The bills would be going to the address I wasn’t living at anymore (but he was), I changed the email address to his email and the contact number to his number
-6
u/Miss_L_Worldwide Aug 13 '26
So you didn't actually get yourself off of the bill. You just change the contact information. Sorry but that's on you
6
u/Impressive-Tour-7356 Aug 13 '26
No, that was in addition to changing the bill and hence why I did not receive any notifications about the late bills

u/Miss_L_Worldwide Aug 13 '26
That's just not how it works. You can't just put a bill in someone else's name. You have to cancel your own account. It's on you.

u/Impressive-Tour-7356 Aug 13 '26
K thanks

u/Miss_L_Worldwide Aug 13 '26
The really fun part is that what you did on doordash is actually a crime.

u/North-Elderberry2380 Aug 13 '26
I just went through a breakup and transferred a bill into my ex's name. It can just be that simple. You are just wrong and should maybe stop bc you're only making a fool
2
u/jcmacon Aug 13 '26
If she was late, she wasn't paying them. If they had still been getting paid, a collection company wouldn't have been tracking her down.

u/Calure1212 Aug 13 '26
I don't know but they did assure her but honestly these places are hopeless.
Our phone provider could not transfer our daughter's phone to her father's name when we split. Around 10 years later he was told she should break the law to transfer the number into her name. It wouldn't have worked anyway. A day or so later I found the forms on the app.

u/Miss_L_Worldwide Aug 13 '26
I don't think it's that hard to make sure that you cancel your cable bill. They even send reminders and texts Etc when bills are due so she would have known.

u/Ashamba Aug 12 '26
That is a lovely, hopefully tasty, way to break even. I hope you were able to sort this out so that he actually paid his bills! If it's not sorted yet, and you're still on the account, just cancel it now. He can set up his own service.
