I have done each and every step asked my customer support including changing password, enable multi-authentication but still, my finical limit is not removed. It's been 4 days since I have emailed Upwork support under the same ticket ai haven't ruined any reply from them. Please help me. I need to buy connections and submit proposals and withdraw funds and I am unable to accept job offers as well.

Hi Rima,

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 an email about the action on your account. You can reply to the email to find out more about the action we’ve taken.

 

That said, if you need to contact support regarding your financial account, you can click the "Get Support" button that shows at the bottom right corner in the Upwork Help. You will be asked what type of account you need help with and to describe your issue or questions. Please select the best option for your situation. If you’d like to speak to an agent, you can request that via the chatbot. If you’re still experiencing issues contacting support, feel free to post here on this thread.

Client approved milestone but Upwork told me client was a fraud and the money was caught by them as their rules. I wonder what if it was a bigger quantity of money, all seems right, client pays correctly, but Upwork catches the money saying client is fraudulent. Very disappointed with these rules. 

For that my account wa put financial transactions limitations and cant' even get paid the money of my other jobs, Upwork support doesn't answer any concern of mine since weeks. 

Hi Carlos,

 

I'm really sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience you had with this client. We as moderators find it unfortunate that there is a problem with your client’s Upwork account, your contract with them will be paused and you cannot continue to bill that client through Upwork until the issue is resolved. 

 

I have checked your account and it looks like there are support tickets created with your financial transactions concern. I highly suggest you communicate with our team through those tickets for updates and further assistance. You can check here or your email for details.

My financial transaction has been limited for couples of days now. Every attempt to resolve the issue have prove abortive. I have replied to the email sent to me by Upwork as requested but still my financial transaction is still limited. The reason for limiting my account was because Upwork suspected that I sent a file containing malware which I have explained to them via email that I had no idea or intention to send the file to my client with malware. I have scanned my system and cleaned my drive. I have also figured out where the malware came from and how to avoid it totally going forward. Still I am yet to get a reply from Upwork. Kindly offer any help as I really don't know any other step to take. Thanks.

Hello Upwork team, 

My financial transactions have been limited by upwork and I am unable to utilize my funds. I have talked to my client and she says that there is no restriction or problem at her end. I have contacted support before and couldn't get any response. Kindly resolve and reconcile this issue so I can utilize my funds that I have earned after a lot of hard work. Kindly pay heed to my request. 

Thank you.

Regards,

Mahnoor Shahzad.

i have updated billing and the card has funds. but account suspended can you please try to take the money again if possible 

Hi Abdalla,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked your account and found that your freelancer's financial account is up to date however, your client account isn't. Please check by logging into your Upwork account and viewing your client profile. Then go to Settings > Billing and Payments. You will see the amount that needs to be paid there, then you may click on "Pay Now" to clear the negative balance on your account.

 

If you still need to contact support regarding your financial account after the balance has been paid, you can click the "Get Support" button that shows at the bottom right corner in the Upwork Help. You will be asked what type of account you need help with and to describe your issue or questions. Please select the best option for your situation. If you’d like to speak to an agent, you can request that via the chatbot. If you’re still experiencing issues contacting support, feel free to post here on this thread.
