Account Suspended

[hk1997]

Please resolve my issue !!
I am not able to submit proposals as it says "you can't submit a proposal because your account is suspended.".
However, when I submitted an appeal to unsuspend my account they responded that my account is not suspended. Please resolve my issue.
I'm not getting a proper support on this. I've been only asked to clear cache & cookies & I've tried it several times but doesn't work. Also, the same issue persists on mobile app. There must be a technical issue then. Please investigate this matter.

Thank you!

Hello, Its time to sad story.

My name is Alexey, and I am the rightful owner of the Upwork account, that was blocked 4 years ago. I had a lot of jobs, money on account, rating... The suspension occurred because I accidentaly accessed my account using a VPN. In 2 days account was suspended, I immediately reached out to Upwork support and provided all the necessary documents, such as my passport and proof of residence, electicity bills. However, some of the electicity bills were rejected since they were in my father's name, even though we share the same last name, which is allowed. So they decided to block me forever, and there is no reason for it, cause I am real owner, still living at the same place.

I am kindly requesting Upwork support to contact me so I can provide additional details via email or LinkedIn: **Edited for Community Guidelines**

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi,

I've just received the following error when posting a job listing. 

"We're unable to post your job because your company has been suspended. Contact Upwork Support for more information."

Would somebody be able to tell me why this is happening and how I can get it fixed?

Cheers

[spectralua]

Your account suspended. Speak with support to resolve. Check your tickets here https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/requests

[5056d632]

I want someone to help me with this. I cannot seem to reach Upwork support and they cannot understand my problem. 

I used to have an Upwork account long ago and it got suspended because I had put my father's bank details there so I made a duplicate account to resolve the issue, the issue was resolved, I deleted my duplicate account and my initial account got resuspended. I started using that account but after some days, it got suspended again. I thought it was because I hadn't put any billing methods but now I have. I have contacted Upwork support many times, and they mistake the account by the closed duplicated one, I just want my account to be unsuspended. Someone help. 

When I go to the billing section, it says "Your account is suspended. Please contact customer support" and in other areas, it says "Financial transactions have been limited".

Dear Pradeep,

Now its been 18 days. Now I have lost 3 clients and since 18 days I havnt worked for any clients. Verification process is of 48 to 72 hours but in my case I dont know why Upwork takes 18 days till date. Whenever I update ticket on this issue, they always gave simple generic reply only. Can you please explain me why it takes this much time. Can you tell me where the verification process is reached and what is left to verify?

I am heavily rely on upwork. And I dont use anyother platforms for work. I am bearing loss from last 18 days. Its really frustrating and now I am feeling helpless in this matter. 

Regards,
Aamena Saiyed

Dear Annie,

I hope this message finds you well. I want to discuss the ongoing investigation into my Upwork profile suspension. While I understand that these matters can sometimes be complex, I am eager to gain insight into the current status and contribute towards a swift resolution.

Could you kindly provide me with an update on the specific challenges your team is encountering? This information would assist me in understanding the situation better and potentially offer insights that could aid in resolving the matter more efficiently.

I genuinely appreciate your team's efforts in addressing this issue; however, I must express my growing concern due to the duration of the investigation – it has been approximately 20 days now. As someone who relies heavily on Upwork for my livelihood, this situation has had a significant impact on my ability to earn income.

Considering Upwork's reputation for providing quality support, I am sure you understand my confusion as to why this process is taking longer than expected. I am hopeful that you can provide me with more specific details rather than a general response, as that would greatly assist in alleviating my frustrations.

The financial losses I have incurred over these past three weeks have been substantial, and I must inquire whether Upwork has a policy in place for compensating users who experience such setbacks due to extended support issues.

I have always held Upwork's support in high regard, and I believe in the effectiveness of your team. Therefore, I am kindly requesting an expedited resolution to this matter and the reactivation of my Upwork profile. This would allow me to promptly resume my work and begin rebuilding the momentum I had before this unfortunate situation arose.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and for your understanding of my concerns. I eagerly await your response and look forward to a positive resolution.

Best regards,
Aamena S.

[bilous-maksym]

Dear Upwork Community Members,

I am reaching out to you today with great urgency and a plea for assistance regarding a distressing issue I am facing with my Upwork account. My name is Maksym, and for almost a decade, I have been an active freelancer on Upwork, accumulating an impressive track record of over 10,000 work hours and earning more than $200,000. I am proud to hold a solid rating , which reflects the quality and dedication I have brought to every project.

Regrettably, I find myself in a grave situation where my account has been suspended, preventing me from accessing my funds and continuing my work. What adds to the frustration is the misnaming of my account in recent communications from Upwork, where I was referred to as "Amarjeet," a name completely unrelated to me. This blocking message, with an incorrect name, leads me to believe that the suspension was done by mistake.

Throughout my entire Upwork experience, I have consistently used my genuine name, Maksym. It is deeply troubling to see such a significant error in the communication regarding my account suspension. This adds to my growing concerns about the handling of my case and the transparency of the verification process.

I have followed all the necessary steps in the verification process, which have been dragging on for a staggering 22 days. My last video verification was conducted a week ago, and since then, I have received no concrete updates on the status of my account. The responses I do receive are automated and impersonal, along the lines of "We are reviewing your account, and if we don't get back to you within 48 hours, please contact us again." However, when I do reach out, I am simply asked to wait another 48 hours.

As you can imagine, this extensive and opaque verification process is causing immense concern, especially in terms of accessing my hard-earned funds. I am left wondering whether these funds will be held indefinitely until a final decision is made on my account. This uncertainty is deeply troubling, as I rely on these funds for my livelihood.

I kindly request your understanding, support, and guidance as I navigate this distressing situation. I have always valued my relationship with Upwork and the opportunities it has provided me over the years. I am hopeful that by sharing my story and seeking the collective voice of our community, we can shed light on my case and prompt a fair resolution.

If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has any advice or suggestions on how to expedite the resolution process, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Additionally, any guidance on how to escalate this matter within Upwork would be immensely helpful.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your time and consideration in reading this message. I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer, and I remain hopeful that together we can bring attention to my situation and work towards a positive resolution.

Thank you once again, and I look forward to your assistance and guidance.

Sincerely,

Maksym

What is ban reason?

Maybe it was hijacked then renamed to Amarjeet.

No other ways, support only. Yep, it is slowly and with no guarantee.
