What is that old saying? "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word"?
Seriously, the only way to deal with "customer service representatives" of a company that decides - out of the blue - to ban your account is to either go through organizations like Consumerist, or to hire a lawyer, and to foist the cost for that on them.
Considering how they're not even willing to tell them for what "infraction" they decide to ban you, referring rather to "for a variety of reasons", I wouldn't be very inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.
