Climb in order. Keep everything. Never make a new account.
File within 6 months. Be specific, accountable, attach evidence. Answer in days.
File it: app help centre → “My account was banned.” Odds are low — file anyway. Every rung above asks if you did.
A human must answer — in public. Charged after the ban? Lead with the money.
File it: bbb.org → Match Group Americas, LLC (Dallas, TX). Usual outcome: refund. Take it, keep the reply.
Free. Twenty minutes. A legal desk reads it — and legal desks get different answers.
File it: search “[your state] AG consumer complaint.” Attach the BBB reply. Slow — weeks, sometimes months.
An independent dispute body. Free for you — the platform pays if you win. Almost nobody has used it.
File it: after the appeal — user-rights.org or adroit.legal, with the final decision attached. Rulings aren’t binding; regulators read the trail.
Ask them to erase the ban record itself. The only rung that attacks the record, not the decision.
File it: written request citing GDPR Art. 17 / CCPA §1798.105. They often refuse citing safety — worth filing, not worth expecting.
This whole guide is the free tier. The paid tiers are the same ladder, carried for you — each one further than the last.
This page. Every rung, every filing address, every deadline. You run the ladder yourself with an afternoon and patience.
The Filing. Rungs 1–5 (whichever your country has) drafted to your facts, approved by you, filed inside 48 hours, with a decoded note for every reply.
The Case. The Filing, plus the part that actually decides most fights: every reply answered for 60 days, BBB rebuttals inside their 6-day window, post-ban billing clawed back, one full re-appeal.
The Advocate. The Case, carried to the end of the ladder: the EU dispute-body submission built to its 3,500-character limit, erasure refusals escalated to the regulator, 24-hour priority filing, unlimited replies for 90 days, and a written final-options memo if everything exhausts.

We never guarantee reinstatement — nobody honest can. We give your case its best possible chance through every legitimate route. Not a law firm. No affiliation with any dating app — names identify the services people are banned from. Every route we file is free to do yourself: it’s all in the guide.
