Suspended Account

Hello,

 

We are agency and we had an account with upwork since many years. We were busy with the other work. Since last few years we were not accepting the freelancing work due to business contracts.

Now we want to start with the freelancing work again. When i login to my account i see a message "Your account has been suspended". We alreay have work history on upwork. Can someone help me to get the account active.

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Amani,

 

If the action buttons that you usually use are grayed out, the Trust & Safety team may have suspended your account. In that case, you will have received a support ticket with an email notification about the action on your account. Please refer to your ticket here and reply to the email if you have any questions for the team.

Hi Pradeep,

I did video call yesterday and I received one email from Upwork, that my profile is successfully verified after the video call. But account is still showing suspended. Can you please help get it normal again.

I got my first contract on upwork, a direct contract, and just then - I got the message asking for verification.

 

I have sent the ID card as well as selfie. It said it should happen within minutes and upto 1 business day. 

 

I am looking to expedite the process and thats why I am reaching out here!

Hi, i have been finding it difficult to fund a milestone. I have been using my card to fund more than 2 milestone so far. On the third one i got an error message. " you don't have a valid billing method on file with upwork. please correct this before making an offer."
I tried many times and even tried clearing the cache. No result!

I tried using about four more cards, my mom, friend, mine and my bro.

Soon, i got a notification that my finance was suspended. I am guessing for trying so many times. 
How do i reactivate it and resolve this error. I have already given a talent work to do for me and i would like to meet the deadline for this project. 
Thanks

Hi, after issue was resolved i still get this error "You don't have a valid billing method on file with Upwork. Please correct this before making an offer.". What can i do?

I have added two billing methods on my account and they are accepted. I am thinking may be my card is blacklisted my upwork for trying multiple times. Please help me have a look.

Thanks
