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 Hassaan,

 

If the action buttons that you usually use are grayed out, the Trust & Safety team may have suspended your account. 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.

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?

Suport andTrust and Safety needs to understand that some freelancers are Dyslexic, this affect the ability to understand some of the TOS

 

I have been banned, I have 5500 hours 250 k earnings I have worked on Upwork for 6 years.

 

If there is an issues or Concern it has to be explained to me clearly, so i can understand it. and what actions i need to take. the should be a check box i can tick. etc. 

 

Support, and  Trust and safety needs to understand that while there are bad actors there are also people with Dyslexia, who are doing there best to follow the rules and need help.

 Please dont discrimnate against me.

 

Thanks so much

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

Pau, did you try a different browser? or clear the cookies of the browsers and then try. I hope this problem will sort it out. 

Otherwise, connect with the Upwork support team. They will help you in this regard.
