Old company using my name on upwork

Hi,

I’ve switched company in April and my old company is still using my name in their organisation on upwork. How can I report for it and I want them to stop using my name on upwork?

Link of old company profile :

But by switching company you should never have created a new profile, which is a violation of the ToS - you should have left the agency WITH your profile... Or was the agency profile the duplicate considering that the one you are posting from is 7 years old?

This one is my old profile and I’ve deactivated my personal account when I worked their as per their policy. So when I left from their I saw they’ve not delete or deactivate my organisation account.

Nope, that's not how the rules are. You should have been added to the agency on your original account and have left with your original account. Having two accounts is always a violation, even if one is deactivated.

 

 

So what should I do now? Is there any solution for this?
