Hi TK,

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

As a reminder, please know that freelancers are not allowed to have more than one account on Upwork, regardless of the old account being closed, or suspended. Having multiple freelancer accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork Terms of Service.

I am writing to seek assistance with accessing my freelancer account on Upwork. I have been an active user of Upwork for a considerable duration, using my freelancer account to engage in various projects. In addition to my freelancer account, I had a client account associated with the same profile. However, today, I made the decision to delete the client account, and I now find myself encountering difficulty accessing my freelancer account. Despite multiple attempts to log in, I am unable to access my freelancer account and continue with my ongoing projects. This unexpected issue is causing disruption to my work and commitments, and I am seeking your support to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I kindly request your assistance in helping me regain access to my freelancer account. It is crucial for me to resume my work and maintain the positive relationships I have established with clients on the platform. If any additional information or verification is required to confirm my identity and resolve this issue, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Hi Annie, can you support me to reopen my freelancer account, please?

After I had ended my contract with my company (an Upwork agency account), they asked me to delete my freelancer account, and I had to do it. I have used my company email to create that account and now I don't have access to the email anymore. After that, I realized that I could not create a new freelancer account because it was a violation of the Upwork Terms & Service. So basically, I have lost all the access.

Hope I can get some help from Upwork to reopen my account soon because I really need it to find new jobs.

Hi Huy,

Could you please click on my name above this post and send me a private message with the registered email address so that I can check your previous account?

[f59a9740]

Hi Pradeep,

I have sent you a private message with the registered email address of my deleted account. But after I click the "Send Message" button, it opens the Private Messages page with no message. I have tried to send you a private message two times. Can you check if you received it, please?

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Upwork team,

After I had ended my contract with my company (an Upwork agency account), they asked me to delete my freelancer account. I have used my company email to create that account and now I don't have access to that email anymore. After I closed it, I realized that I could not create a new freelancer account because it was a violation of the Upwork Terms & Service. Besides that, I also lost the password to my closed freelancer account.

PS: I'm using this fake account (client account) just to ask for help.

[f59a9740]

By the way, I have tried to send private messages with the registered email address of my closed account to a moderator. But after I click the "Send Message" button, it opens the Private Messages page with no message. Not sure if he received my messages or not. Maybe there are some restrictions with the private message feature?

[luiggi_rosado]

Hi Huy,

I see that you were able to send Pradeep a private message regarding this. I'll be sending you a private message with more information. 

[f59a9740]

Hi Luiggi,

I have sent you private messages with more information.

Thanks for your help.

[f59a9740]

Hi Pradeep,

Could you check your Private Messages if you see my messages, please? I tried to send you private messages but it just shows as empty in my list.

Thanks for your help

No matter which options I choose, despite the fact that none of the options are relevant to my specific issue, I never get an additional option to contact support. It's literally as if this platform has gone out of their way to ensure that good customers can't get a hold of anybody whatsoever. It's really frustrating.

[aae0559b]

my account was frozen, or paused at an administrative level due to a payment issue. When I read the instructions, it says to replace the payment method and pay any outstanding invoices to fix the problem and reinstate the account however after adding a new credit card, which went through successfully there was no balance for me to pay off, and therefore it does not seem that my account is reactivating. I can't imagine why I'm not able to directly contact customer service for an account issue that directly involves backend administration, such as limiting accounts. I do not see anything in the help forum about the issue of having to pay a balance that doesn't exist.

[egaruth]

Hi there,

Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about the account you are referring to?

Please know that freelancers are not allowed to have more than one account on Upwork, regardless of the old account being closed, or suspended. Having multiple freelancer accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork Terms of Service.

[8332ca4a]

Yes, but once you are suspended you are not able to post in the forum or raise the ticket to support.
That is why all suspended people need to create another account just to post!

DM sent.

[8332ca4a]

Any assistance, if possible?

Thank you!

Hi,

I have recently closed my old account and now I have plan to use my old account to start working. I have opened this new account because there was no other way to communicate with the support. Can I get some help on this? Thank you in advance.

[egaruth]

Hi Putri,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it seems that you already created a support ticket regarding reopening your account. Please allow more time for our team to review your case and respond accordingly to your ticket. You will be notified of their response.

[5f605c55]

I have the same problem, I can't find where and how to open a ticket. Can you help?

[5a4d1881]

Hi Team,

I accidentally closed my upwork account since I was new and I'm confused with my two accounts. Can you help me reopen my original email? I have been using that email so its important for me to recover it. This is just a new account that I have created and I want to close this after I recover my original email.

Best Regards,

My account was hidden or something back in 2020. Literally impossible to even log-in to my account. Says "Oops! Wrong account!" When it's not. Terrible system. Makes no sense why I can't log-in to the account at all. Tried making another account but it says, "Other account is using this phone number." Anyways, I've seen multiple forum threads with the same problem. The solutions aren't useful since I cannot access the account, there is zero way for me to contact the non-existent custumer support to reactivate my account. You'd think a website this larger would have a 24/7 live chat but they are too frugal to hire staff like that.

Very frustrating with no valid excuse for why it exists. Need my account manually reactivated and since there is no customer support, this is the only way I've found to do that.
