Facebook Ads Access - Theft and the Law

Options
I have recently been a victim of the Facebook advert service. I currently run ads on Facebook but today Facebook banned my personal account (no reason, they just did). Now I can accept this, however, as I am running ads I'm no longer able to access them but they continue to charge me for them so essentially they are stealing my money as far as I can see. 
I've tried to look online for a resolution to this issue but all articles in Google search seem to come from Facebook and are obviously no help in this matter. I've tried to contact Facebook who are again absolutely no help at all.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can resolve this matter and where I stand in the law on this?

    Because the thread was resurrected by a new member, who knows why they do this or what they are looking for when they come across something that has been long dead.

    It's a future spammer building up their post count with the intention of posting links in the future.  There have been a few lately posting stuff that doesn't really apply to old threads.

    krish12344 responding to old threads about facebook adverts.   Odd responses like consumer protection agencies because they
    do not know what country the forum user came from.

    Probably sent forum members private messages selling information or looking to scam them.
