Account Suspended

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!

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hello Luiggi R,

My account is still suspended even after I added a new payment method and another valid card. Please un-suspend me so I can send contracts. Thanks.

Hi Martin, 

 

I don't see any limitations on your account. Are you referring to a different one?

This is very confusing. I do not know how to complete the ID verification process.  I would like my suspension lifted please regarding boosting, since this is very demoralizing.

Since my work is detail orineted general clerical, I am having trouble finding work as a freelance novice to supplement my retirement income on a parttime basis. I would like my suspension lifted, since this is very demoralizing to me. I would like to avoid any misunderstandings based on my employment and work history listed in my profile. 

 

         Sincerely,

         Martin Reiss

I can see that you submitted your verification document and it is still under review. The team will reach out to you and let you know the next steps once they finish their review.

How do I get my account off of hold? This is what it says to me "Financial transactions for your company have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support." I already paid my freelancer over $400 and I am trying to pay him more but for some reason UpWork won't let me. So if we can please get my account off whatever it is so I can send this guy money and UpWork can get money too that would be great!!! Because right now it's not looking to good. Thank you, Lucas
