Please can anyone tell me what is the meaning of this “There was an error processing your request.

Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket at support.box.com.” 

What can I do to go further?

Hello,

I’m trying to upgrade my free Box account because I’m over my storage limit. When I attempt to check out, I get this message: “Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket at support.box.com.”

However, when I go to support.box.com, I can’t find a way to submit a ticket, possibly because I’m on the free plan. I seem to be stuck: I need to upgrade my account, but the verification message directs me to a support option I can’t access.

Could someone from Box help verify my account or tell me how to submit a ticket so I can complete the upgrade?

Thanks.

Hi! I am trying to upgrade my plan and box says I need some form of verification, and asks I submit a support ticket. Yet the support ticket link and contact support button both just lead to the forum.

This is quite frustrating, how can I get verified to upgrade my plan?

Hi ​@mems1010, welcome to Box Community! 

We moved your post to this related topic to address your Box upgrade, also to explain why it always loop you back in the Community Forums while trying to submit a support case. 

 

If you are getting the exact error as shown in this thread during your Box upgrade, you can contact our Sales team by  box.com/pricing and use our live chat feature. 

Meanwhile, if you are trying to submit a support case - note that your option to reach different support channels (such as email, chat or phone support) can be limited depending on your Box plan. For freemium users, you can only use Community forums to reach the Box Support team. For more details, please see this article. 

 

Hope it helps!
