Locked out of Facebook account

Ive been locked out of my fakebook account.Says you have to send them copy of ID like birth certificate , drivers licence etc. Iv photo of my BC   , and uploaded it to the link , it uploads ok , then says click on continue  and then you get the spinning wheel  going round and for ages. Ive seen enough on a fb help desk ..and other fb members are having same problem ..but i cant see anywhere where it says what to do

    Seriously do you really think Faceache needs a copy of things like that, and if they did I would tell them to close my account and prove that they have deleted everything I have ever posted

    this is what it says 

    Upload Your ID
    To help us check that this account belongs to you, we need a photo of your official ID. This could be a driving licence, passport or other type of official identification. If there are any issues, we'll send you an email...
    When you submit a copy of your ID, we'll keep it for more than 30 days, but no more than 1 year, unless you opt out. This helps us improve our automated systems for detecting fake IDs and related abuse. Your ID will not be visible on Facebook
    So read that and then read my original post       .. When u see a list of things they accept as ID.. a copy  of BC   is on the list

    I think the point DCM was making was ... if Faceache lock an account and then request further personal info to unlock it then they can go spin; DCM would rather they close the account and delete the whole account history.

    ....... and what are they going to do with a photo of you?  Do they have a database with photos of everybody that has a Facebook account?  <Sarcasm mode turned on> Actually they probably do! <Sarcasm mode turned off>
