Account suspended after 'information within legal request was fraudulent'

Well that’s your opinion, you don’t know that for sure. What do you suggest I do, just give up? If they didn’t answer my first appeal why not try and appeal again? I read on the YouTube forum that someone kept appealing every 7 days until you got a reply...

My opinion is based on the actual experiences of terminated creators who have posted their struggles to the official YouTube Help Forum, which I have viewed as a contributor.

In that same vein, the "someone who kept appealing every 7 days until they got a reply" was someone who had received a "normal" termination for "Spam, scams, and deceptive commercial content, or other Terms Of Service violations"; was it not? Your own termination is unusual, in that it is for fraudulent filing of a legal form; which is considered to be abuse of the legal process on YouTube: or by any other name, Perjury.

Your expression of desperation is truly painful to view at this point. Please stop trying to get us to tell you what you want to hear, as we cannot do it.

Don't you love people who come here, or to places like Reddit, and think they're in the right and everyone pointing out that they're wrong, they're just going to ignore? There are very few cases where YouTube makes a legitimate mistake in cases like these. Sure, their algorithms can screw up, but where people are demonstrably violating the rules, posting copyrighted material, stealing other people's videos, bullying and attacking people, etc., their fate is sealed and rightfully so. Be an adult, accept that you screwed up and move on. Actions have consequences. Welcome to the real world.
 
I have realised what I have done was a mistake and I'm trying to salvage it and get my account back, I'm just wondering how and need some help doing it. I don't know what else to do at this point apart from appealing or contacting the claimant as I simply don't want to give up, it isn't exactly a small channel that was created a months ago.

Once again, there is nothing more for you to write.

You repeatedly broke the agreement you had with YouTube, you repeatedly violated copyright law, and, just as bad, you still don't seem to understand or show any remorse for the severity of those actions.
 
So, this is the thing. I filed out two counter notifications in early May and both of them went through to the claimant (the same company) but one of them must of l got rejected which is why YT sent me that termination email. But the other one just got processed now and has been restored... very weird why would one be find and not the other? Exactly the same information and same claimant.
 
So one of the counter-notifications took 36 business days to process, (why so long?) is it possible thats how long I'll have to wait to get a reply about the appeal?

So far it's been 25 business days since the first appeal.

Whats going on here?

A lot of that has to do with the claimant as all counter-notifications are sent to the claimant and they have to respond. If they don't respond in 30 days, you win. Until very recently, the claimant got all of the ad revenue no matter what, so it wasn't in their best interest to ever respond because they got to keep all of the money regardless. Now it's different, but they're usually not in any hurry.
