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 Community,

Our upwork account was suspended and it was asked to verify documents. I have uploaded the document but utility bill of Google Fiber they rejected, so I again sent Engery Bill of mine under my name but no replies from Upwork team for the ticket: 36092940 even after 24 hours. Is there anyone in upwork help team who can get it resolved for me. Thanks for the help in advance.

Regards,

Mike

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

 

please this is urgent!!!

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

Hello, 
Hope you'll doing great. My upwork is showing that I can't withdraw my payment. However I assure upwork to not violate the terms and conditions, also my account had been restored since a month. I'm sending proposals and got offers too.  And still I can't withdraw my payment which I need very urgently. 
Seeking upwork help!

Kind Regards

My account was suspended yesterday (August 2nd, 2022) yet I never violated the ToS or received an email explaining why I was suspended or how I can appeal my suspension. I am now asking for help here on a client account with a different email. I am wondering if any moderators could help me out. Thanks.
