Account Suspended

[hk1997]

Please resolve my issue !!
I am not able to submit proposals as it says "you can't submit a proposal because your account is suspended.".
However, when I submitted an appeal to unsuspend my account they responded that my account is not suspended. Please resolve my issue.
I'm not getting a proper support on this. I've been only asked to clear cache & cookies & I've tried it several times but doesn't work. Also, the same issue persists on mobile app. There must be a technical issue then. Please investigate this matter.

Thank you!

Thanks for getting back to me. I have been frustrated with the lack of information I have received on this matter, and I feel like there needs to be an internal revision of this process to prevent people from being unfairly and wrongly suspended. I specifically asked for more information each time I replied to the support team, and yet it was never addressed, even when the support team let me know the account was restored. I feel like I have been treated unfairly, my requests for help on understanding the problem were ignored, and I was placed in a situation where I needed to defend myself against unknown charges.

I am sitting here feeling cheated due to the lack of transparrency. The withdrawal of my proposals has resulted in lost opportunities to engage with new clients, after investing considerable time in crafting and tailoring each proposal to the respective job postings. I am certain the support team can appreciate the unfairness of the situation and acknowledge the impact on my ability to establish a reputation and deliver quality work.

Is there any assurance you can offer regarding the return of my connects? I believe this would be an equitable resolution, considering the time and stress involved in addressing this issue promptly.

Hi James,

I most certainly see where you're coming from. I understand this has been a very disappointing experience for you and I'd like to assure you that the team will get back to you to assist to the best of their abilities. I kindly ask that you allow them to get back to you as I mentioned, as they're the ones who will be able to provide the best possible solution for your concern.

[jdoherty15]

I recieved a response from the support team; however, they only informed me that they could not disclose the reason for my temporary suspension and failed to address my concerns regarding the lost time, effort, and over 100 connects expended on jobs for which I am qualified. I require assistance beyond the existing support ticket email thread, as my concerns have not been adequately addressed, and my confidence in the platform remains shaken. All I seek is fair compensation for this situation.

Hi Luiggi

Ca you kindly look into my ticket I am having a new agent reply to my open ticket every time I send/request an update. It is getting really hard to follow up on my account's progress. And time has lapsed already.

Hi Nelson,

I checked, and one of our team members has already sent a follow-up. Please allow them time to review your ticket and update you directly. Thank you for your continued patience!

First things first, it is terrible this platform is not customer-centric and we have to rely on making a forum post to reach someone... Those new fees that were implemented should definitely cover the costs for live chat support or phone agents... 

I have updated my payment method as it was previously not updated and two payment attempts failed before I did so (on my Client profile). I have now cleared my Client profile outstanding balance. But, I still can't apply to jobs on my Freelancer profile... 

Please advise. 

[7c815821]

Can someone assist me with this same issue? I started a new forum detailing particulars. I recently had a billing issue which has been resolved. Is there a timeline on when I will be able to apply to jobs again?

Good afternoon, I have the same problem, I wanted to file an appeal for restoration, but I received a letter that my account either does not exist or it is not blocked, although its registration was in 2019. Through the chat bot, I tried to explain my problem, I received an answer to my mail that my problem would be considered within 48 hours, attaching a link to a ticket from those support, but the problem is that I can’t see this ticket, because I need to log in your account to see the ticket, I had to register another account to write on the forum about this problem, I hope technical support will help solve this problem

Hello!

I was notified that my account has been suspended and was instructed to contact customer support. After speaking with them, I was informed that the Trust & Safety team had sent me an email outlining steps I need to take to restore my account. However, upon checking my email, I found no such message.

The customer support representative suggested that I check My Requests, where I found a request to verify my account that had been marked as solved three days prior.

In order to recover my account quickly, what steps should I take?

Dear Upwork Support Team,

I am Faiza Ali and I am writing this from my friend's account because I don't have access to my own account
I am writing to urgently appeal the suspension of the Upwork account of my Upwork Account. ( https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01190d1b6ea47b5dba). I was surprised by the suspension and would like to address the issue promptly to resolve any misunderstandings or violations that may have occurred. I didn't receive any email from Upwork explaining the reason. 

I have been an active and dedicated member of the Upwork community for the last 3 years. Throughout my time on the platform, I have consistently maintained a high level of professionalism, adhered to Upwork's policies, and received positive feedback from clients.

I kindly request your assistance in providing specific details regarding the reason for my account suspension. This information will enable me to identify any shortcomings on my part and take immediate corrective actions.

I genuinely value the opportunities Upwork has provided me, and I am committed to rectifying any issues and ensuring compliance with all guidelines moving forward. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response and the opportunity to continue contributing to the Upwork community.

Sincerely,
Faiza Ali
