Account Suspended | Cannot Post in the Community

Good day, I hope this message finds you well and good. So, I have two issues. I have created this account because I want to post this to the Upwork community for help and support. I have tried all available means known to me post my issue on the community forum and reach out for support but to no avail. I understand that it is against Upwork's ToS to have more than one account and I abide to that. So I'd delete this account as soon as this issue is resolved. 

 

1. On Thursday, 29th October, 2022, I tried to buy some connects as I was out of connects and I wanted to apply for a job. As a result of this, I was requested to input my payment details. I did as requested, however, the card details I imputed could not be verified and for this reason, my Upwork account, Abdul-Aziz Osikoya, was partially suspended. I have access to it but cannot apply to jobs, accept a new offers, etc. It was mentioned that I can automatically resolve the suspension by inputting another payment details or using a PayPal account. I inputted another payment details which was accepted but awaiting verification. Since then, my account is yet to be unsuspended and I cannot do much with it. Please can you help me check it out and help me resolve this issue. 

 

Another thing that bothers me concerning this suspension is that I was the one who wanted to purchase something from Upwork and yet because my initial card details couldn't be verified, I was suspended. That seems absurd. Upwork was not requesting me to verify anything yet it suspended me for trying to input information about my payment details. Also I did not do anything to violate the Upwork ToS. Please help shed more light on this because I feel this kind of situation is very annoying. I was about to accept a contract offer from a client when this occurred and because of it, I couldn't. 

 

2. Secondly, I'm not able to post or reply to any post on the community forum from my original account. It says that I should verify my email or the reason that I cannot post is that I am not allowed to reply on a particular post. Please help me out. What should I do to resolve this issue?

 

Mind you, my email has been previously verified and my account is fully active. I have also posted previously, once, in the community. 

Thank you very much. 

 

Regards, 

Abdul-Aziz.

Hello Sha Ali Akram,

 

 I'm sorry to hear you can't access your tickets. If needed, you can access any support ticket from the email associated with your account. That said, I don't see any recent support tickets on your account. Is there something in particular you need assistance with?

Hi Susan,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked your account and can confirm that there are no active suspensions. Since this is a new account, you may still undergo a few verification processes. We recommend you complete them in the recommended timeframe to avoid getting your account suspended.

My account was suspended a week ago and I still haven't received a follow up to my appeal, and don't know why it was suspended in the first place.

Hi Margrethe,

Today, I logged in my upwork account and its saying, Your financial account -Kashif Khan (292737)- has been suspended due to issues with payment methods on file. Please update payment methods to restore full functionality to your account.

 

I did nothing on my financial account. Can you please advice why its showing this message?

 

I am not sure what's the problem with that.

 

Please help me to fix my upwork account so I can apply for jobs and start my upwork again as freelancer.

 

Thank you very much
