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!

In that case, you will have received a support ticket with an email notification about the action on your account. Please refer to your ticket on this page and reply to the email if you have any questions for the team.

I have a freelancer and client account. I posted a job on my client. My freelancer account is purely research work and statistical analysis, that a lot of other freelancers are doing the same work.

Hi Team,

 

I am unable to submit the proposal due to suspension of the account.

 

Could you please review the query as I have not violated any terms and condition of the upwork.

I recently created an agency profile within my primary Upwork account, comprising seven members.
I applied for a job opening via my agency profile and subsequently conducted an interview with the client on the Upwork Zoom platform.
During the discussion with the client, I inquired about the possibility of transferring the contract to one of my agency members if hired, with the aim of building their profile with earnings.

Unfortunately, I was unaware that I cannot assign jobs to other members through my agency profile.
Consequently, the Upwork team has mistakenly perceived that I have two accounts, which is not the case.
I urgently request assistance in addressing ticket requests/44478356 to promptly resolve this matter and reactivate my profile as its been 3 days already.

I want to emphasize that I am a genuine Upwork member who has consistently billed all clients through the platform, which serves as my primary source of livelihood. I am committed to adhering to any rules set by the Upwork team and want to clarify that any oversight on my part was unintentional. Your prompt attention to this matter is highly appreciated.

My Upwork Account is suspended. Surpisingly, I do not know the reason for it and also the Upwork has not given me any details about it. I have not given my access to any other person, nor I gave my credentials. I had not voilated the terms and services of the Upwork. Yet, they awake and suspend my account. I am also contacting the support but not a useful response or a guideline is given by them. They demand me of my official documents.  I had given them. They regected it. i again given them they again rejected it. Those are my official documents but Upwork is considering it. I do not know the reason and also my documents are keep rejecting. Please guide how can I proceed

 

Thanks!

Hi Arjay,

Thank you for the prompt action.
Account has been restored and I need to understand how job applications should work for agency profiles.
If you have some guides please share with me.

I need to find how I can elect a member of my team for jobs I apply under an agency profile.

Hello Upwork Community,

I've been a satisfied client on Upwork for over a year, but I'm currently facing a perplexing issue. As of yesterday, I've been unable to access my account. When I attempt to log in, I receive the message: "Your account is suspended. Please check your email for more information or contact Customer Support."

However, I've received no correspondence in my email regarding this suspension. The 'contact customer support' link directs me to the 'Appealing an Account Suspension' page. After submitting the form, I received an email stating:

**Edited for community guidelines**

This response is confusing as my account seems to be suspended, yet I'm told it's either non-existent or active. I had to create a second account to access this forum and seek assistance.

Meanwhile, my developers, whom I communicate with via Slack, inform me that our contracts are active and they are working as usual. It's been a day without access to my account, and I'm unable to open a support ticket or directly speak with anyone from the Upwork team.

This situation is extremely frustrating and I urgently need assistance to resolve this issue. Any guidance or direct support contact would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to gather some insights from the community regarding my current situation. My Upwork account was suspended a few days ago due to a dispute resolution process. Subsequently, I went through the identity verification process and received confirmation that my ID was accepted.

However, my account remains suspended. I'm trying to understand what additional steps might be required for reinstatement and if anyone has experienced similar delays after passing ID verification. I'm open to any advice or guidance on how to best proceed.

Thanks in advance for your support!
