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.

Looking forward for any assistance.

Hello, I have a problem with activating my account. The issue is that my account was suspended due to sanctions, but I have moved to another country and want to reactivate my account by following the necessary procedures. However, when I try to file an appeal, I almost immediately receive the following response to my email:

 

"We see you submitted a request to appeal an Upwork account suspension. However, the account you submitted it for either doesn’t exist or is still active (not suspended). If you submitted the form by mistake, no worries, we’ve disregarded it. If you have other questions, please visit Upwork Help to contact our support team."

 

email of my account I'm trying to reactivate is: **Edited for Community Guidelines**

 

I am certain that my account is suspended, as I see the message on the login page. Also, it is definitely registered because I cannot register with the same email; I receive a message stating that such an account is already registered. As a result, I cannot reach out to support and cannot activate my account. What should I do? I was forced to register with another email and write this here because I have no other options to report my problem. I'm aware of Upwork's terms of service regarding multiple accounts, and I assure you that I comply with them. Once my issue is resolved, I'll promptly delete this account.

 

Best regards,

Ilia Imanov

I can't find the place to put in a help/support ticket. The bot keeps giving me a link that goes back to the generic support page. 

 

1. I need to re-activate my account that was deleted by accident but when I follow the "instructions from the Bot it isn't accurate". 

2. I need to update my adress on this account to Pacific time, Los ANgeles and NOT Tijana but when I fill out all the information and check all the boxes it declines it and says to "FIX The problems" which highlights the top box. This is checked every time but it's not registering. 

 

Overall i can't sign up for any jobs because i'm "NOT in the US" and eligble and then i can't use my actual account, had to create a new one but it's not accurate. 

 

THIS IS SOOO FRUSTRATING! I have been trying to figure it out for 2 days! k

 

HELP!!!

Hello,

 

Today I am raising a very serious issue i.e. regarding Upwork account reopening process which is that they don't reopen an account after it is being closed.

 

I have tried multiple times to reopen my closed account but everytime I receive a new ticket ID and this automated message from support staff saying:

 

Hi, Suryansh

Thank you for your patience while we worked on your account.

We are now ready to proceed with the final agent review. After this step, we will either confirm that your account has been successfully reopened or inform you of any eligibility issues that may arise.

To initiate the final agent review, kindly reply to this email with the reason for your request. Once we receive your response, our team will promptly proceed with the review process.

Best regards,
Upwork Support Team

 

I respond to the above message every single time but didn't receive a follow up mail from the support staff which is very unprofessional.

 

Can anybody please escalate my complaint to the higher authorities so that this issue of ghosting customer complaints can be resolved on priority basis?

 

3rd ticket ID that has been assigned to me on 27th August, 2023 is #42362975 and 2nd was #42231100 assigned to me on 18th August, 2023.

 

DISCLAIMER: I have to make this fake account to raise my voice in this community in the hope that my issue will get resolved on priority basis as my main account is closed and unusable.

Hello Upwork Team,

I have been trying to reach out to your support team through various channels, including email, chat, and phone, but I have not received any response. My account was closed due to an issue with my email, which prevented me from changing my password in time. Now that my email is working properly, I am unable to access my Upwork account.

I created this new account solely to contact you, and I will close it immediately after this issue is resolved, as I am aware of your privacy policy. My account has been active less than 2 years, and I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter promptly.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerly,

I closed a duplicate client account, but the entire account is now closed. I cannot log into my original client account anymore.

I had to create a new email account to post this here.

 

The affected account is different from this because I cannot log in into the original account. Please help!

 

Thanks.
