STUCK.

Hello,

I am creating a new account using my business email and platform. However, I have an old account using the same phone number so the system won't let me finish signing up. I went onto the old account to delete it but it won't let me because the account is suspended due to ID verification. Just to try and bypass it I submitted my ID but got stuck again when it asked for a video chat but the link led nowhere. I am completely stuck at this point, just trying to delete the old account (**Edited for community guidelines**) so I can use my phone number for my new account.

Thanks.

Freelancers are not allowed to create a new account. To do so is a violation of Upwork TOS.

 

You can work with Upwork Customer Support to purge anything that got created as part of your new account attempt. You may use your original account.

Hi Natalie,

 

I have checked this with the team, and they have confirmed that they will reach out to you directly via a support ticket.
