Hey, I have been trying to get into my LinkedIn account, but it keeps asking me to verify my identity, but never lets me in. I tried making other accounts on different emails (********* and ******), but I still can not get into a single account.
I have submitted forms to have someone help me with my account, but I haven't heard back.
I submitted my first form months ago. If you could get back to me and help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to access My Second LinkedIn Account
- Second LinkedIn account is restricted; verification followed selfie and license; a second account was opened for freelance recruiting tied to HRBP.
My second linked account is restricted. I have been on my second account all day, and all of a sudden, verification is needed.
I provided the information with a live selfie and my state-issued driver's license. My first LinkedIn Account is connected to two Gmail accounts: *** and ***.
I opened a second account using my ********* because I wanted to use my Freelance Recruiting Partner position, given the overlap with my recent HR Business Partner Certification. My 980 mobile number is linked to my *** email address.

Verified ReviewerNot refunding per company policy
- $108.99 charge for a Premium Company page; no sign-up known.
- Refund requested; case moved with no update in a week; seven-day refunds if unused.
More than a week ago, I noticed a $108.99 credit card charge for a Premium Company page. I had no idea I had even signed up for this service.
It probably happened when I was trying to add a month of Premium service. Once I saw the charge, I went to the LinkedIn website to cancel the service. I eventually found a refund page, but could not answer some of the questions listed on the form as they were not applicable. I completed a customer service form and inserted my request for a refund.
I received notification that my case was being transferred to a different team, presumably one related to Premium Company issues. That was more than a week ago, and I have heard nothing about what should be a routine matter.
Per LinkedIn policy, I can request a refund within seven days of a charge, provided I have not used the service. I have met that requirement and want a refund.

- Very poor customer service
Preferred solution: Full refund

Unless necessary for employment avoid Linkedin at all costs. They keep old accounts captive to push up their supposed users and you will never truly get off Linkedin which puts you at risk for ID theft.
I have repeatedly tried to delete all of my accounts. I went through their personal ID verification, password verification, etc., and still can't delete the accounts. The screen says my account has been blocked for unauthorized access.

“Very poor customer service”. YOU made an error, had buyer’s remorse then post here claiming you had no idea you signed up.
Then you explain how this happened. The seven day notice was the timeframe to initiate cancellation. In that “more than a week ago” request that wasn’t even on their form was two weekend days and a holiday. So they have to read your request, process your refund and then 3-5 business days after to hit your account.
Yet you rate them 1-star for your incompetence and want help? Noise.
