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. Please visit Contact Support and click the 'Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select 'Send'. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good morning! Does anyone have any suggestions for reopening a closed account? I deactivated my account due to being ill but I didn't realize it would completely close it. Any help is appreciated.

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.

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,

Aiko Mae Narvasa

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.

 i deleted my account a few days ago using this email, but now I would like to make a new one however I'm unable to make a new account or re-login because it's saying that I already have an account when I sign up and "that email is already attached to an account  "

Hi I was trying to access my account after a long time but when i try to login i get "Oops! Username is incorrect." error which is false since my account is already there. I don't know what to do to login. Can't sign up with this email either since it says that it already exists. 
This is a very annoying issue and I don't know how to solve it.
My email is **Edited for Community Guidelines**. Please help.
