Appeal once
From the notice, with accurate details.
Home / Facebook account help
Facebook disabled your account and you are in the UK?
In the UK the appeal in the notice is the main route. Data rights and fraud reports sit alongside it.
If Facebook disabled your account in the UK, appeal once from the notice and upload ID if asked, with the name on the profile. A UK GDPR subject access request can show what Meta holds about the account. If it was hacked or used for fraud, report it to Action Fraud or, in Scotland, to Police Scotland.
Your data
A UK GDPR subject access request.
Fraud reports
Action Fraud or Police Scotland.
Steps
- Screenshot the notice with the date and any appeal deadline shown.
- Appeal from the notice, logged in on the device you normally use.
- If asked for ID, upload a clear photo of a government ID where the name matches the profile.
- If you manage Pages or ad accounts, ask another admin to check them in Meta Business Suite.
- Once you are back in, turn on two-factor authentication and remove devices you do not recognise.
If you run Pages or ads
A disabled profile can cut you off from your Pages and ad accounts. If there is no second admin, say in the appeal that the profile manages a business Page. See profile disabled while managing business Pages.

Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.
Facebook disabled in the UK: quick answers (2026)
Where do I appeal a disabled Facebook account in the UK?
From the notice you see when you log in, or from Meta Accounts Center. There is no separate form for the UK. Old contact-form links mostly redirect now; see the official links directory.
How long do I have to appeal?
Facebook says you can appeal a suspension within 180 days, and that the period varies by region. After that, or after a failed appeal, the account is permanently disabled.
Is there a Meta phone number in the UK?
No. Meta says it has no general public phone number for customer service. A number claiming to be Meta support is likely a scam.
What ID does Meta accept from the UK?
Meta usually accepts a UK passport, a photocard driving licence or a national identity card. Use the same name that is on the account.
What about my phone number?
Use the +44 number on the account. Drop the first 0 when you type it, so 07700 900123 becomes +44 7700 900123.
Does Meta Verified help a disabled account?
Meta Verified gives access to support for accounts you can still log in to. It does not reopen an account that is already disabled.
Is there an official body above Meta in the UK?
Ofcom enforces the Online Safety Act, but it does not decide individual account appeals. Since Brexit, UK users cannot use the EU’s Appeals Centre Europe under the DSA. You can ask Meta for your data with a UK GDPR subject access request; see the SAR guide.
Who do I report a hack or scam to?
Report a hacked account or a scam to Report Fraud at reportfraud.police.uk/ or 0300 123 2040. It replaced Action Fraud on 4 December 2025 for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, call Police Scotland on 101. The NCSC has a guide at ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/recovering-a-hacked-account.
Can someone in the UK get my account back for me?
Nobody can override Meta, and nobody legit needs your password. A service can help you prepare and follow up the appeal. Meta makes the final decision.

Updated November 2026
The Facebook appeal still starts from the notice you see when you log in: choose the option to disagree or request a review, and complete any check Meta asks for, such as a video selfie or an ID upload. Meta states that you generally have 180 days to appeal a suspension. If the screen offers no appeal, see what to do with no appeal button and the Facebook appeal links directory.
I emailed my appeal letter to Meta. Did it arrive?
Meta does not process account appeals by email. Paste a short version of your letter into the appeal field shown in the app, Account Status or Business Support Home.
What to send us
- The username or profile link.
- A screenshot of the exact notice, with the date visible.
- Whether you already appealed, and what Meta replied.
- Whether you still have the email and phone number on the account.
- Never your password or login codes.
Send it on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Can I call Facebook?
Facebook does not offer phone support for disabled accounts. Numbers online that claim to be Facebook support are often scams.
Can the ICO restore my account?
No. The ICO handles data protection complaints. It does not review bans.
Will a new profile help?
Facebook allows one personal profile per person. A new one can be removed and can count against the appeal.
Do I need to share my Facebook password?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from your public username, the notice and the details you send. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz about a disabled Facebook account?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
