Contract is suspended or On Hold. How Do I resolve this issue?

Hi Community Gurus,
I am a freelancer working on Upwork from last year(July 2018) as a video editor and animator. I have been working with a client from the past 5 months(April 2019) and have no issues whatsoever related to payment or anything. But recently received an email from upwork.


**Edited for community guidelines**

 

After that, I contact the client related to this issue. He said his Credit Card got compromised and thereafter he updated the Payment method by adding the CC details, Then I tried adding manual hours on the contract but unable to add the hours due to this issue I think. I got the message saying "Company is suspended".

As you have read the issue I am facing,  Kindly answer the following questions:
1. How much time it will take to resolve this issue?
2. Do I need to contact the client regarding this issue, If YES What should I tell him to do on his end?

Note: Please let me know if you want to know anything else.

Regards 
Varun V.

re: "Contract is suspended or On Hold. How Do I resolve this issue?"

 

You don't.
The client resolves this issue.

 

re: "How much time it will take to resolve this issue?"


In my own personal experience: Sometimes it takes an hour or two. Sometimes a few days. Sometimes longer. Sometimes it is never resolved and the freelancer never works on the contract again.

 

re: "2. Do I need to contact the client regarding this issue?"

No

You do NOT need to contact the client.
But there is no prohibition against you contacting the client.
