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,

ACCEPTED 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.

Hi,

 

I have an account under the email **Edited for Community Guidelines**. I had to create this account due to them being unresponsive on my other account and my other account not allowing me to ask a question here. I understand community guidelines don't allow for two accounts but I had no choice given the situation. I have submitted countless support tickets because my account financial transactions were limited and my account was suspended. I have fixed the issues that were claimed to have done this and still the suspension has not lifted. All my support tickets say solved but I didn't get any response from anyone or anyone to fix the situation. It is very unfair as I have money from clients that are simply sitting and I would like to give my freelancer a bonus for the long issue but I can't due to this. Please fix and I will delete this second account once the first one is fixed. Thanks

Hi Alexandra,

 

Apologies for the delay as our support teams are currently experiencing a higher number of contacts than usual. I can see you were able to reply to your ticket and it is currently open. Rest assured the team will address your concerns and questions in the ticket as soon as possible.

Please avoid creating several tickets or posts for the same concern so that the team could assist you more efficiently. We seek your patience and utmost understanding while sorting this out for you. Thank you!

I'm have been trying to get the suspension solved for weeks now. Without any success. It seems close to impossible to speak to a human customer service. Now I checked, and it states that the matter has been resolved,  while it hasn't. This has affected me, as I cannot use my account and employee as well. How do I get someone from customer service as the chat is just simply not working and unreliable.

 

Thank you 

Hi Naomi,

 

It looks like the team shared some instructions with you here. Please reply to them directly if you still need assistance as they are awaiting your reply.

Hello, May I know what violation have I done? that isn't fair at all without any reason you're suspending my account permanently which I have created for years. I am disappointed. Please, mention the proper reason otherwise give back my account.

Hello everybody!
First of all, I am grateful to Upwork for the opportunities it provides and I really want to use this service in the future.
I have the following problem, which I ask for help to solve:


My account is currently on hold, this happened right after Upwork verified a review I requested from a past client.
The reason for the hold is that more than 1 person is using the account.
This is not true, only I use it, but it happens that from different IP addresses, devices and locations.
I tried to re-verify the profile, Upwork asked for financial statement, which I sent.
In response, I received a letter that the profile is still on hold, as recent actions indicate that the account is used by more than 1 person.


From this email there is one step I can't do:
"1. ANYONE using, accessing, or sharing this account with you must create their own Upwork account. Once COMPLETE, please send the email address or username for their new account so we can confirm."

 

I am the only one using this account and I always will be.

Please tell me how to restore the account?

Hello 

 

My visa had hit the limit and was declined. Money has been added to the visa but for some reason, I still cannot make payments. I tried removing the card but there is no option for that. I also tried adding back the same card unsuccessfully. 

 

I have been trying to find the support button on upwork support page but it is not there. I have also used the support in the past where I am assigned a support ticket but none of this is available right now. 

 

Need assistance to solve this issue. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

My case is very simple and don’t know why it is taking so long for your rep to resolve my issue.

 

My agency account got suspended due to credit card issue on my account. This guy **Edited for Community Guidelines** asked me to remove the card from upwork account so that he could remove the suspension which I did. After removing the card I texted  **Edited for Community Guidelines**told him that it has been done and now please remove the suspension. He again said that the card has been removed from my freelancer account but the same card has re-been added to my client account so forwarding the case further to the client support team. I again asked him if he wants me to remove the card from my client account as well and he never replied after that.

 

This is not it, this guy responds once in 24hrs as you can check in the chat history in the ticket I raised. I am losing my clients as I am likely to start a contract with them and they are telling me that they are unable to see my profile. Now, tell me where should I go ? and what should I do in this situation?. Who to approach?

Hello, 

My account has been suspended and I don't believe I've violated any terms on the platform. This is my primary source of income and has caused a significant setback for me. I think it could be related to not sending over my ID verification in time. Is there any way to know how long I will have to wait in order to use my account again? 

Hi Alexis,

 

I'm sorry if you got caught off guard by the suspension on your account. I can see that you've raised a support ticket about your concern and please allow our team time to review your case. You should be getting an update here or in your email once done. Feel free to update the ticket and coordinate with the team if you have questions or need further assistance. Thank you!

Hi,

 

Can you help me figure out why my freelancer account was suspended? Upwork notified me that they are holding the contracts on my client account, and stated that I need to update my payment method. After that, I received a notification that my freelancer account was suspended. I fixed the payment method on the client account assuming that it was the cause of why my freelancer account was suspended.

I tried to use my freelancer account if I can already submit a proposal after fixing the payment method on my client account, unfortunately, I cannot still bid on jobs.

Please help.

My account is suspended....! I was working with my last client ... I was time tracking correctly...and 1st day everything going fine. the next morning at 7:45 am Upwork sent me an email...the client account is on hold and suspended. Please pause your work...And then at 8.15 am when I accessed my account ... it show me a floating notification that my account is suspended please contact Upwork support... They didn't email me for this and any violation I did or something else...!

I contact them and it still does not solve the problem...my request is still on hold. 

what can I do now...! Need an expert suggestion.

Hi Tanzil,

 

I have checked and the team handling your case has reached out with more details as to why your account has been suspended. The instructions on how to resolve this issue are included in that notification as well. I can also see that you've coordinated with the team today and please allow them to further review. You should be getting an update here or in your email once done. Thank you!

My account was recently suspended and I got a notification bar on top of the page saying "your account has been suspended, please contact support".

On contacting support, I was assured that it would be fixed and it did. But still the notification bar on top of the page, could be seen. This has been going since last one week and I havent received any update from the relevant team regarding the fix.

 

I was reading through different forums and articles across the internet where it said that I need to file an appeal to restore my access. Please guide me accordingly as this is very frustrating to see my account suspended since last one week
