Below solution is shared which is worked for Kosi1994:
“A friend invited me to a party and started multiplayer. This apparently skips the “checking inventory” part of connecting. After buying some new parts for my car (not sure if this is actually neccessary) I was able to upload my savegame successfully and join multiplayer on my own again.”
