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 Musa,

 

I followed up with the relevant team and can confirm they followed up with you via a support ticket. Kindly refer to your ticket for more information. 

 

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.

Hi Luiggi

 

A friend of mine mistakenly closed his Upwork account. I am sending this message on his behalf because he can't seem to contact Upwork directly. 

 

Please help

Hi Annie,

 

I cannot send you a message. When I click on your name does not show me a option "Send a message" or nothing like that on your profile.

Hello, I tried to create an account as a freelancer looking for work. However it says my email address (let's call it email A) is already in use. Perhaps I created an account years ago and don't remember - I tried using the 'forgot password' but then it says 'invalid username or email'. So I created an account with email B but would like to use email A for my Upwork account. Any suggestions? Can someone please contact me for a solution?

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 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.

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?
