PS3 account banned as they claim hacking

Options
I assume I have no rights as its in their terms but basically I have had the account 5 years, the things purchased on the console must be 300-500 pounds worth.

I basically have been told that they caught me using unauthorised software but refuse to tell me what software and when it was, I have not got unauthorised software on my console, or at least that I know of I purchased the console second hand as a replacement for my broken one.

I am just upset due to the cost of the lost items, I still have them on my console just cannot go online with them and should I ever have a problem with the hard drive or I sell console I cannot download to a new one.

Any rights on this?

    The console is banned and you now have the console, the seller would have been caught using the console so sold it on to an unsuspecting buyer, you.
    You can buy another console and use that, but you would first have to find out if you whole account is banned or just the PSN id. Try a friends console.
    You have no recourse against Sony, but you would have a good chance of success against the seller if he sold you a banned console without telling you about it.
