I created a case to request support so I know what information I need to send to reactivate my account, since I live with my parents and the utility bill is in my mother's name, I was suggested to send my birth certificate.
I then sent all the information including:
My citizen identification card front and back
My bank account statement
My family's utility bill for April 2025
My birth certificate with the local stamp of my residence
and on May 19, 2025 I received a notification that:

I am really shocked by that, I don't understand what I did wrong
In the past, I only sold products under the FBA model, all my products did not violate any Amazon policies, the account status was always in the best condition, and Amazon accused me of participating in illegal activities.
Now I have 848 products in stock.
I have to pay a lot of money for goods, monthly storage fees to Amazon, advertising fees and I still haven't recovered my capital and Amazon suspended my account for a reason that I did not do.
Now I am very scared and don't know what information to send so that Amazon can reactivate my account.
I am a new graduate and had to borrow a lot of money to be able to do my first FBA trip.
I really hope to receive help or assistance here so that I can reactivate my account.
Please help me.
