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,
Solved! Go to Solution.

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.

For the last 10 days, Upwork has ruined my day-to-day work by creating a list of troubles for me which are,
1) Blocking my earned funds withdrawal twice - Later activated on the complaint
2) Placing other restrictions on my account which are - disabled job submission button, non-appearance in search results, not allowing to add in agency and so on...
Apparent reasons for it and explained to me are - I have a client account which is linked with my freelancing account. The payment method in the client's account was expired this is why all kinds of the above restrictions were placed in my freelancing account!
I had been told to update the payment method in the client account to get removal of restrictions, I did, but only my withdrawals were unblocked, all other restrictions mentioned above remain the same.
I have an open ticket with customer service for the above, 1 suggestion was received yesterday, I tried but that didn't work!
Currently, not able to do anything on upwork other than sitting and watching the profile, no assurance received from anyone to get it resolved on priority!

Today I entered as every Wednesday to withdraw balance from my account and I receive the message "Your financial account has been suspended. To proceed, please contact Customer Support." I haven't done anything but work, I haven't touched anything else. What happened? Upwork Support is not answering my ticket.

My bank card had expired and I was waiting for a new one to be sent, and Upwork restricted my account because it was unable to charge the old card on file. I have now updated to the new card and my account is still restricted. It should have been resolved 3 days ago. I can't find anyone from Upwork to talk to so I can resolve this issue and pay my freelancers, who worked really hard on my project!
Sep 7, 2022 03:39:29 AM by Annie Jane B
Hi Rachel,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused. I checked on your account and can confirm that the hold has been lifted. You can now proceed to issue payments to your freelancers. If you need further assistance, please let us know and we'll be more than happy to assist you!
