When I try to upgrade my subscription, it says that additional verification is required. I have called support and am going on 1.5 hours on hold with no answer. Please help me!

I was trying to upgrade Box plan but I got an error message that says:

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

 

And there was no way to submit a support ticket.

Dear Box Support Team,

I was recently invited by a friend to join Box, and while attempting to upgrade my plan, I encountered the following error message:

“There was an error processing your request. Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket at support.box.com.”

Could you kindly assist me in resolving this issue so I can proceed with the upgrade?

Thank you in advance for your support.
