Facebook Account Disabled Still

I submitted all my info to the links you showed & did this more than once. My account has been disabled for over a week now and still haven't heard anything back from FB. What can I do to recover my account? I don't understand why this is so difficult. Can someone help me out with this to resolve the problem and help me get my account activated again?

The most common reason for disabling an account is use of a fake name. Facebook requires real first and last names. You'll find more details on this Facebook page. If you think that may apply to you, you can request a review of your own situation here. Otherwise, your best bet may be to use this form.

        Or...

Facebook's spam detection system has determined (rightly or wrongly) suspicious or deceptive activity that violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. For a review you can file this form, or, if you're your page's admin, you can go to your page's admin panel and click Appeal. 

        Or...

Facebook may be making an improvement to the database that your account is stored on. During this time, you will not be able to gain access to your account. In most instances, this maintenance will last only a few hours. (Facebook doesn't do site maintenance on all accounts at the same time, so it's possible that some of your friends will have full access even though you don't.) If the issue lasts longer than 24 hours, you may wish to follow these instructions to clear your browser's cache and cookies. If that doesn't work, try submitting this Facebook form. This information is from this Facebook page, which you may wish to consult for further guidance.

            Or...

If none of the above seems to apply, file this Facebook report.

You may write or phone Facebook, but whether they'll respond to your concerns is another matter.  Here's Facebook's contact information:
