Financial transactions for my account have been limited

[#1]

Hello! I have recently create an account to look for work last week. After putting in my billing method, I have received 50 connects but all of a sudden I received an error stating that there was a financial hold. I did not receive any email and the support chat will not connect with anyone, it just keeps taking me to an article for community or academy. What should I do next?

[#2]

Hi Stuart,

I'll go ahead and follow up with the team handling your case and you can expect one of our agents to reach out to you directly via support ticket as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

I also get this message when trying to buy connects. I am trying to start work on Upwork as a freelancer but the site makes it very difficult to do so. I received the following error message:

Your account has been limited. Please contact customer support.

Yet there's no real way to contact customer support. Please help me get my account up and running so that I can start working.

[#4]

why is upwork making it difficult to contact the support directly ? I got the message below 

Financial transactions on your account have been limited due to a failed charge. To resume your account, please update your payment method and pay any outstanding balance.

since I know am not owing any outstanding balance ,I need to contact support to resolve this issues but no way to do that for over 2 months 

is anyone here to help please 

Thanks

Hi

[#14]

Hello! I also got "Your account has been limited. Please contact customer support." after I update my billing since I got my first client. Also, "Action required: Verify your identity to continue winning jobs on Upwork." is very hassle notification because I already verify my identity by sending valid ID and picture selfie yet upwork still don't accept it. With this, I can't use my available connects to apply for a project even if my connects are enought for the proposal. 

PLEASE HELP ME 🙂

Hi, Upwork Team

I am experiencing the error: Financial transactions for Sanket Sonawane (71295038) have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support.

I am unable to submit an individual help ticket to request assistance.

I have not received an email - as described - indicating the issue; hence the posting here.

I have added a Billing Method as in the help article it's informed to add. But it doesn't look resolved.

Please help me here.

I appreciate your help!
