Hi Chandrakant,

 

If you need help restoring your account, we’ll need to ask you to confirm some private account details in order to help you. At Upwork, protecting your privacy is our priority. With this in mind, it would be best if you reach out directly to our support team so they can assist you within a private and secure channel of communication. 

 

 

How do I reach a human in customer support?

 

  1. Select Get Support at the bottom of the Help Center page
  2. Type a question or topic and select "Send." The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. If we don't find the information you need after a few tries, you’ll see an option under the article selections to "Contact Support"
  4. Select "Contact Support" and follow the options provided

Hi Janine,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I shared your report with our team and one of our agents will reach out to you via a support ticket to assist you further. You can access your support tickets here.

 

Also, please be advised that having multiple accounts is against our Terms of Service and you would have to close the other account/s that you created.

My boss accidentally closed the account and now there is no way to restore the closed account. Letters in support, have not received any response for 3 days.

May be you should add some functionality to restore closed account?

Hi Iliya,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I'll be escalating this to the Customer Support team so they can follow up with the user. However, note that we won't be able to share the details of another user's account for security reasons.

 

Thank you,

I deactivated my account but want to activate it again. When I type in my email adress in account creation I get the error saying that email is already in use and if I would like to log in, but when I press log in it says that my email is not connected.

Hi Tim,

 

Are you referring to an account different from the one you're reaching out from? If so, kindly click on my name and send me a PM with the registered email address of the account in question, I'll be glad to assist you further. As a gentle reminder, having multiple accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork TOS.

Hi Luiggi, thank you for responding. I'm not sure how to handle this. My name is **Edited for Community Guidelines**. I am on the distribution of the "careers" email. **Edited for Community Guidelines** setup our account with Upwork. I had setup an account under my name with email **Edited for Community Guidelines** I had cancelled it once I realized we already had an account setup. My problem now is that we are no longer using the "careers" email. I should be setup as the main account holder and Tim should be setup with a different email, but only to have access to post jobs and speak with candidates. I take care of job offers and the financials. We are also new to Upwork and have a freelenacer we need to hire asap.

If the OP was able to log in the old account, should someone remove the new account created to reply here?

Hi Annie,

No, I was not able to login. I created the support ticket using a new login with a new emailid. I want to access my old account, the one created using the old email id. And I did check the support tickets list and couldn't find any.
