An Uber driver says he is on the brink of financial ruin after being dumped from the company late last year without a full explanation.

Muhammad Qureshi says he was terminated by Uber last month after working as a driver since October. He was previously a taxi driver on and off for three decades.

The 62-year-old says he is still without a job and is struggling to repay a mortgage and a car loan he got for the purpose of becoming an Uber driver. He says he still doesn't understand why he was cut off from the company and has pleaded for an explanation.

"I asked Uber, if I did something really bad, really wrong, OK that's my fault," he said.
