Ask Google to lift the ban. Then, if they don't reply or their reply is not useful, fill in the form again. Do this every 1-2 days until you get unbanned.

Politely but continually raise the issue with Google until you get unbanned or given actionable steps you can take to fix the issue. Do not violate any of Googles terms of policies or rules.
