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

Hi
My account was financially suspended 2 weeks ago and support finally after spending too much time sent me an email that your identification has been reviewed and accepted, But my account still is suspended, and can not use my account. What is the problem? I also replied to the ticket that they opened two weeks ago.

here is the link https://support.upwork.com/hc/requests/43935854

If so, please continue coordinating with the team through that ticket or the email associated with the account you need assistance with; they'll surely assist you accordingly.

Hi Leticia,

 

I understand you want to resolve the issue with your account as soon as possible. Apologies if there's a delay in response from our support team as they are receiving a higher-than-normal volume of requests at the moment.

 

I can see that their last response was just sent yesterday. I would suggest that you avoid sending multiple follow-ups on your ticket as this sends back your ticket at the end of the queue. We appreciate your continued patience.

Hello,

I was recently suspended from Upwork and found out about it 10 days ago. I unknowingly broke the Terms of Service (TOS), and I'm quite new to freelancing on this platform – it's basically my first month. However, I'm eager to fix this problem and keen to continue working on Upwork, being a responsible community member and following the TOS, which I've now read thoroughly.

 

I've reached out to support and filed an appeal, but haven't heard back anything at all for the past 10 days, even though I have tried to get in contact repeatedly. Despite multiple follow-ups, I'm left without guidance, and I'm unable to seek help on the community forum, which is what led me to set up this temporary account and write this post. I'm really hoping to get some assistance here. Can anyone offer advice on how to address this and progress? The reference numbers for my original suspension and the subsequent appeal are 44098693 and 44100001.

It's been a challenging week with my account on hold due to a business verification request tied to a client account that's now closed. The hitch? I no longer need that client account or the verification process.

 

I've been reaching out to Upwork Support for assistance, but unfortunately, I haven't received any response yet. All I want is to get back to doing what I do best – working on my freelancing account.

But after working for hours i got notification that my account is suspended because of using copyrighted material + the contract is paused.

I asked client to check if anything wrong in his side, he said everything is good in his upwork account. 

 

Now I Don't underated what i did wrong here? Why my account got suspended here? What's the reason?
