Reactivate an old account

Hello!

 

I created an account on Upwork some time ago, and now I want to use it again. I don't know if the original account was closed by me or if it just expired, but I cannot reuse my email address or my username for a new account. Please assist.

Hi Ww,

 

Can you please send me a PM with your old account details so I can check? You can PM me by clicking on my name. Thanks!

Hello!

 

I tried to PM you, but got "You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action.". Is there a support email address I could send those details to?

Hi Ww,

 

I sent you a PM. Thanks!

Hello! A friend of mine is asking for help regarding his account. He created his account years back and wants to reactivate it again. However, he can't access it beacuse it is inactive. He can't send an email himself because he can't create a new account with his previous emails. Here is his email: **Edited for community guidelines**

Hi Regine,

 

The account you referred to is reinstated, as per user's request via email. Please advise your friend to reach out to us if they need any further assistance. 

 

Thank you.

Thank you so much for the fast response Bojan!

Hello @Bojan. 

 

I have a similar problem, and also cannot send you a PM as I am notified to have restricted access.

 

In my case, I have a freelancer account which i used last year and had not used it the whole of this year.  I would like to use it again but noticed it is asking me to reactivate my account; even though I see that all my previous information is still stored.

 

Kindly advise if after I reactivate, will my profile be treated as a new account? And in that regard also incur the service fees of a new account? or will it continue considering my previous Upwork history?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi Victor,

 

Could you please try to update your profile and resubmit it again for review? Please let us know once you have resubmitted it so we can check. Thank you.

Hi,
I have a serious query regarding my account. I want to close my upwork account and In future, can I reopen my same account with the same reputation and contacts ? Do you delete a closed account permanently after a period of time, if the account is in a closed state ?

Hi Sandeep,

 

I can see you were able to submit a support ticket with our team regarding this. Please allow some time for our team to review and they will update you directly via ticket as soon as possible.

I need to edit my phone number because I went to create an agency account and then I found out that I had to have a personal account before I could do that. I created a new profile with my personal email and now I cannot continue on that account because my phone number is linked to this account. I cannot change my phone number because my profile is still in the setup phase
