Inactive account but want to use email

I don't know what option I touched and my account logged out and didn't let me login again, showing this message in the login page.

 

This email address is associated with an inactive account. Contact Upwork Support if you want to use this email address or register with another email address.

I, indeed, want to use this email to continue working in Upwork. Can you help me solve this?

How can I contact Upwork Support, I looked all over but I couldn't find it

I'm having a similar issure - trying to create an account with an email previously used on an account I tried to close. When signing up, I get an error saying the email is associated with an 'inactive account' and to contact support if I wish to use that email. I cannot log in since I attempted to close the account and therefore can't seem to find a way to contact support, had to make an account under a different an email to contact anyone. Can anyone help with this?

Same problem is faced by my friend. it got locked while he was registering and filling some description. Now he can't recreate / nor he can access that account as while recreating it says it is inactive account and need to consult with customer support. and if tries to login it says invalid username / email.

 

Could you assist us in troubleshooting the problem as he was trying to open the account on upwork.

Bojan, 

Can you help me reactivate my work account? I created a freelancer account by accident, then deleted it and want to create a client account.

I tried to message you directly but it says I don't have permissions to do this.

Hi Bojan,

 

I'm also having an issue with the "inactive account" status with my email address. I closed my account before I even finished the initial setup thinking I could come back and complete my account later. Is there any way to reinstate my email address? I had to open this new account in order to contact you, but it's not an email address I use or check regularly.

 

Regards,

Tony

The same problem is faced by my profile and he can't even comment and ask question as it requires upwork account to do that.

 

So, could you please assist in opening the account while he was registering or delete the whole previous account. So, he could also try to re-register it again.

Hi I've got the same problem:
"This email address is associated with an inactive account. Contact Upwork Support if you want to use this email address or register with another email address."
So in order to write here I have created another account. Any sugestions are more than welcome. 

Hi Ivaylo,

 

I'd be happy to check this for you. Please send me a PM with more information. You can PM me by clicking on my name. Thank you!
