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!

My account was suspended and I was told by chat support, I also did not receive any email stating why. Does Upwork inform the client when your profile is suspended?? I started a new role yesterday and I was just trying to verify my ID. I do not want to lose the job

Hello,

 

My account has been suspended and I just got my first job contract there and even.. 

 

This is my first account and you can even check my profile I have uploaded everything. I believe this is a mistake. This is the correct account that belongs to me. I struggled so much and worked hard to get my first job but the account is suspended. Please help me.  This is the only source of income that I have right now.

 

I am willing to do any kind of verification to prove my identity and that it's my real account.

Hi, I just signed up to upwork, added payment details, address, phone, verification, etc. and tried to post a job.  I also contacted some possible suppliers.  However, the job post is no longer live and I cannot send messages,  It says that my 'company has been suspended'.  Have been trying to understand what's wrong.  Appreciate any help.

I have a ticket that has been opened for 2 weeks now regarding verfiying my ID (again for the 2nd time). I provided all information and there has been literally NO answer from anyone since then. i cannot use my account, I cannot withdraw my balance, nothing.

 

I am not sure what is going on, I reached out to support literally once a day for the last week and no help.

 

What can I even do?

Hello, I am deeply disappointed in the upwork. After two years of working on this platform, your team suspended my account in 2 days.

I received a request to confirm my identity where I took a picture of my passport, and where I submitted 3 receipts (2 pdf, 1 picture).

The answers from the upwork team were 24 hours apart, although I wrote in almost every message that I was ready to go for video identification, the answers were as if they were automatically created and each of my requests was avoided.

I have struggled for a long time to create a profile and get to this stage where I have over 40 completed jobs with a 100% profile rating.

I wouldn't be so upset if I did any fraud or broke any rules here, I was honest and fair all the time. My profile was blocked during this identification and some clients thought that I had cheated them because I had active contracts that were not yet completed.

Again, I am asking someone from the admin team to send me a live contact so that we can do a video verification and solve this rproblem. I don't know why, but it seemed to me that you deliberately wanted to shut down my profile, whatever I submitted or wrote.

If it stays on this after all, I would like to be allowed access to the profile just so I can withdraw the funds I had earned and delete my profile.

I hope someone from the team will send a private message and share their live chat contact so we can sort this out somehow.

All the best

Thanks for reply LuiggiR, the problem is that they blocked my account so I cant even login to create a ticket or anything more.

Is there any available for example skype contact from admin team so I can pass it with video verification, I belive it should be easy as it can take 2-3minutes and it can solve this problem?

To clarify, the ticket was raised through the account you are using to post. There's no need to worry; you will be able to communicate with the team normally through the ticket.

Hi, I am new with Upwork.

 

I have fixed my payment/billing method by updating, remove and reupdating once again.

Still with the same error: We found a problem with your primary billing method and to put it on hold.

Please advise

Hi
As a developer of Upwork, I have been working with clients on upwork.
Recently, I received a message stating that my account had been blocked and was asked to verify my ID.
After successfully completing the ID verification process, I received a confirmation that my ID had been verified.
However, upon trying to access my account, I received the same message stating that it had been blocked. I reported this issue to the Upwork support team, who informed me that my account had been permanently suspended.
I am truly disappointed and still confused by the conflicting messages from the Upwork team.

Can you provide clarification on why my account was blocked despite completing the ID verification process?
Thank you.
