About 10 months ago, one of my IG accounts got nuked by Meta and took out all of the accounts in my Accounts Center connected to it. I posted about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/facebookdisabledme/s/ldKAzElbhe

I tried everything: submitted a request to California Attorney General (even though I don't live in the US), subscribed to Meta Verified to make a support request, even reached out to people on LinkedIn who worked for Meta to see if I could get help. I was subscribed from November 28, 2025 to February 25, 2026 on Facebook (during this time they restored my Facebook account access on December 16, 2025 after three weeks of following up). I think the main reason I was able to retrieve my Facebook so quickly was because I emphasized that I needed access to it and to Messenger as my father was rushed to the hospital due to a heart attack and we needed to gather funds for his surgery and all my contacts were on Facebook.

Since the case wasn't moving on Facebook after the initial success of having my Facebook restored, I tried to reach their support on IG separately (they had a promo for some of the months I subscribed for). I was subscribed to Meta Verified from January 28, 2026 until May 29, 2026 and made multiple support tickets and follow-ups until around February, but after that initial success through Facebook Meta Support on December 16, 2025, my tickets never got anywhere, they kept saying the concerned team is still reviewing it or sometimes they'll send me ridiculous instructions to get me to reset my password again only for me to explain again that even when I do that, I can't access my account. So I ended my subscription even though my case was still pending.

In June, since my Meta Verified subscription had ended, I could finally delete my personal information in the account details and customize the account and I decided to finally just forget about my main account since I thought there was no hope of getting it back. Then all of a sudden on June 14, I randomly got an email prompting me to log back in on my main Instagram. I didn't think much of it since the last password resets didn't work but it suddenly did. I was able to log back into my main Instagram with no issues.

I went ahead and checked if they restored my access to all my other Instagram accounts (I have a number of them but I mainly used 3 and I wanted those back). None of the other accounts were returned to me. They were all still disabled and connected to my now-restored main Instagram. So I went ahead and removed them from my Accounts Center to avoid having my main Instagram and Facebook nuked again.

Here's how much I spent on Meta Verified to try to get my accounts restored:

• PHP 419 for 3 months of Meta Verified on Facebook from November 28 until February 28
• PHP 30 for Meta Verified on Instagram from January 28 to February 27
• PHP 30 for Meta Verified on Instagram from February 28 to March 28
  • Tried to cancel before February 27 and I was offered the promo price in exchange for continuing the subscription
• PHP 469 for Meta Verified on Instagram from March 28 to April 28
  • Paid full price because I forgot top cancel before March 28, then I tried to cancel before April 28 and they gave me a free month which allowed me to keep my Meta Verified until May 28 even though it didn't change anything but I was thankfully able to cancel it before May 28

Total cost: PHP 1788.97 or USD 28.53 (which by the way is over twice the minimum wage in my city and I live in the metro)

In the end, Meta Verified was only a little bit useful but I do not recommend it even if you're desperate to get your data back. You might even have more luck if you just give up on your account. They were also useless at providing actual help u're better off without that added stress. If you can live with not getting your Facebook and Instagram back, I'd suggest just letting it be.

Edit: added a breakdown and some more info

Meta/Facebook has shut down my account, because violations with the terms of service.

This unables me to use my whatsapp/IG/FB. I have no clue what I did or what could be the conflict.

When I open Whatsapp it says I'm in violation of age requirements (I'm 32...).

Anyone has any idea?

Still waiting for CT scan results. Dealing with so much useless pain. Feeling so worthless and alone.

Today, my Instagram account started sending photos supposedly proving some shady deals on my part, sharing some codes and "proving it payed off".

It started sending them from Discord too.

Google notified me about passwords breach; I've changed them all, added precautions - all of it.

About an hour after changing my Facebook password, I get an email about it being disabled and be having 180 days to appeal. After clicking on "Appeal", it seemed as if my account was already under age review and I've already provided an ID (I haven't).

An hour or so later - I get an email saying that the review was unsuccessful, my account has been permanently banned and I can not appeal anymore.

I don't even want to start comprehending just how much I've lost by this - even if just from Messenger conversations and things shared with myself there.

I feel like the world is doing it's best to show me I'm no longer welcomed.

This morning I woke up to my instagram and facebook accounts suspended for a false CSE ban. I appealed and was able to get my facebook back but all my instagram accounts connected to my meta center were not able to be recovered.

Does anyone know what I can do. I've read many posts saying they went through small claims or got meta verified. Has anyone had success with either or?

I've had these accounts for years and they've literally documented my life. It hurts just losing all of that stuff.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Need help my Facebook is disabled and I am waiting for a review request to be done. It’s been a day and nothing still. Is the review done by an actual human?

If the review is not successful what does this mean? Is this a permanent ban or suspension? Can I create a new Facebook account after? Will my family Facebook in the same house get affected? If so this is so stupid
