A few months ago, both my Facebook and Instagram accounts were permanently disabled. It was a challenging time for me as an agency owner and digital marketer, especially since I’ve spent over $5,000 running advertisements for my agency and clients. Here’s how I successfully restored my accounts:
### **The Initial Disable and Appeal Process**
When my accounts were disabled, I received an option to appeal within 118 days. It was critical to act quickly, as failing to appeal in time would result in a permanent ban. I submitted my appeal promptly, but unfortunately, the result was not in my favor. Meta reviewed my case and confirmed that my accounts were permanently disabled.
### **Reaching Out to the Meta Pro Team**
Determined to resolve the issue, I tried contacting Meta’s Pro Team through my Business Manager and business assets. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any success at this stage.
### **Engaging Meta Support as a Business Partner**
Since I had spent a significant amount on advertising and met the criteria for a Meta Business Partner, I decided to leverage my business asset. Using this asset, I contacted Meta Support representatives—over 40 in a single day. Persistence was key during this process.
### **Finding a Helpful Representative**
Among the many representatives I spoke to, one was particularly understanding and willing to help. I explained my situation in detail and requested them to escalate the issue to their internal team. This representative submitted my case for a manual review.
### **The Final Outcome**
Within 24 hours of the escalation, I received an email from Meta (attached below) confirming that my accounts had been restored. This was a huge relief and a testament to the importance of persistence and finding the right support.
### **Key Takeaways for Anyone Facing Similar Issues:**
- Always act promptly when you receive an option to appeal.
- If your appeal is denied, leverage your business assets if you qualify as a Meta Business Partner.
- Be persistent and contact multiple support representatives until you find someone willing to escalate your case.
- Clearly explain your issue and maintain a professional approach during communication.
I hope this helps anyone dealing with similar issues. If you’re stuck or need guidance, feel free to reach out—I’ll be happy to share insights from my experience.

@ashland.312633 you are in the wrong place, this is the Meta community forum related to vr headsets and vr games. Nobody here can help you with Facebook issues..... so, it would be really nice, if you stop spamming. You must go here:
Did this answer your question? If it didn’t, use our search to find other topics or create your own and other members of the community will help out.
If you need an agent to help with your Meta device, please contact our store support team here.
Having trouble with a Facebook or Instagram account? The best place to go for help with those accounts is the Facebook Help Center or the Instagram Help Center. This community can't help with those accounts.
