Account Suspended

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!

Hi Hassaan,

 

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 on this page and reply to the email if you have any questions for the team.

My Visa card was compromised so I cancelled it, got a new one, and in my Upwork account deleted the old one and entered the new one. Meanwhile, Upwork paused my contracts and suspended my account. This means I cannot rehire or pay for new work from my contracted talent. Given that I have deadlines they need to complete, I am fully panicked. I have no way of knowing how long it will take Upwork to unpause/unsuspend my account, and my business is suffering. Ii am feeling forced to try a new platform but don't want to!!!! It has been SEVERAL WEEKS since I entered my new Visa card info. I cannot wait any longer. The fact that Upwork has no 800 number for customer service makes me despair of staying with them, even though I've used them happily and effectively for 20 years! Help! Pam

Hello,  

 

Kindly help me out please. My partner account was put under temporary suspension about a week ago. Due to the fraudulent activity Upwork discover with the client he was under contract with. The fund for the work he has done that week was reversed back to client billing method and my account has been placed on hold since then. Upwork Trust and Safety Team then asked him to provide some information which he has compliance with them and provided all the information requested. The write up below is the response he have got for maybe two times now.

I am getting a notification that my financial account has been limited. I am in touch with support and have provided the documentations and answered the questions but it has almost been more than a month and my account is still restricted. I am unable to withdraw money and afraid of applying for jobs as I am not sure how long will upWork take to resolve the issue.

as for me upwork dont delay in replying~ check in notification bell or on your gmail

I do check regularly

After posting this on the community upWork finally replied after 17 days approximately and asked the same questions. I am replying to the same question over and over again. Due to the payment delay I have lost a client because I did not want them to send money to my restricted account, not knowing when I would be available to withdraw. 😞

Hi Ameen,

 

I'm sorry for the delay in the team getting back to you. I've followed up with them on our end, and they've just reached out to you to continue assisting you.

I can't get upwork support to respond (#42643228) - It's been more than 3 weeks and I've sent 3 follow up messages.

Hi Patrick,

 

I'm very sorry about the delay in getting back to you. The team handling your case has just recently followed up with you via your ticket. Kindly refer to it for more information and don't hesitate to follow up with them if you have questions.

Thank you Luiggi!

Update on my case. I've been going back and forth with support. They've been very friendly and I complied with everything they asked me to do.

 

And then out of nowhere, a new Support member joined the case and instantly restricted my account. Not only that, my balance is now negative.  I don't understand what's happening.

I don't know why support is taking wwaaaayyyy to long to resolve the issue. At least you have been going back and forth. My case is being dragged on and it has been more than a month with no updates.

The last response I got was on 5th October as soon as I posted on the community and the questions asked were repeated, nothing new.

If upWork wants to keep account restricted, they should at least give the option to withdraw pending / existing earnings. Due to this financial restriction I have stopped applying for jobs on upWork and looking for alternatives.

Hello. Today its failed to bill me from my credit card due to pay in internet limit. I fixed it and paid.

Now, i'm still have suspended main account and can't submit proposals.
Upwork ticket system dissapeared. There are totally useless topic not related to theme of topics.

I need help from real upwork support and i can't even reach anyone, there are only "feedback" form left.
Where are "submit ticket"? Where are "chat with support" dissapeared?

Honestly, you didnt listen freelancers at all. Instead to heard us, you added "how often your hourly rate change". You really think this is important as there are dozens problems and fixed could be done to service?
