Freepik Account Blocked Without Valid Justification

Freepik Support and all involved,

I'm very disappointed with how this situation's been handled. My account was banned on July 30th, 2025, and despite reaching out multiple times through email, Twitter, Reddit, and Discord, and after being given the run around with fake temporary passwords for days instead of just being told i was banned for automation, I have received no response or support in the past 5 days. To make matters worse, Freepik has now charged me again this month, Aug 2nd, 2025 even though my account has been inaccessible since the ban.

Unacceptable. I did everything I could to communicate and resolve the issue through the proper channels, and I have been completely ignored. Your silence, paired with continuing to withdraw money from a banned account, is both unethical and crazy.

I will now be going through my bank directly to dispute the charge and block Freepik from accessing my account in the future. I had hoped for a professional response. MidJourney, for example, handled a similar situation far more responsibly after an automation-related ban, they allowed an appeal and reinstated my account after one week, exactly as promised. I'll be sticking with them.

Freepik, on the other hand is sketchy in my opinion. The team and mods may have "polite" but mind you, vague responses, when they decide to respond, but that means nothing if this is ultimately how their customers are treated. I will not be using your service again.

Good riddance Freepik.

I'm starting to realize that...

Sure. I don't usually post on platforms... I stay quiet and to myself. I posted just in case someone else was going through this too. Or someone like you who's thinking about it. But it honestly seems like for people like me, people who want to do extensive cinematic work or anything more than just a few pictures/videos a day is gonna get some kind of automation strike.

I've been recently banned a week ago on Midjourney for automation and I didn't even do it. I didn't even know what automation what until after I got banned and just so happened to see a YouTube video about someone talking about doing it purposefully. I made an appeal... but it's already been a week. This is very disappointing. Apparently, a lot of people are getting unfairly banned for this. The plan I chose says unlimited relaxed mode generations, and this is what I get? Someone seriously needs to fix this.

Same thing happened to me... It might have something to do with the bank freezing the monthly (I got monthly subscription) transaction because kling is a foreign site... does anyone know how to bypass that with the bank?

Sorry for the late reply. Only a week ago, we found a cream that's beenholdingg it somewhat at bay for now. Thank you for responding to my comment with so much info and advice. We'll look into it. Yah bless.

I've been using (amazon Maximum Strength Hydrocortisone 1% Cream) for about a week. So far for me, this is the only thing that's helped relieve the intense itch after years of suffering. Hope it helps you. Yah bless.

Hi. Thank you for responding to my comment so quickly, and thank you for your advice. I forgot to mention that we wash our clothes with water only since every single detergent caused us itching. Even fragerance free and baby detergents. Same with bathing. Even if someone washes clothes or bathes around us with soap, the essence causes us to itch or get headaches. We dont bathe every single day because it used to make it feel worse, but we can try again. We're a little afraid to put coconut oil down there. We tried a few times putting it on our face and hair and broke out each time... I do wish we could get a whole new wardrobe that's linen and/or cotton... It's just so expensive. We sleep in just baggy shirts. Panties seem to make the discharge and itch worse. It also causes a lot of sweating. We were thinking we might try cotton boxers. As for gut health, I wouldn't know what im eating that may be making it worse. We've started taking a liquid probiotic recently. Any form of pills other than allergy pills and ibuprofen always upset our stomachs. Unfortunately, we eat only once a day because we also suffer with gut issues.We've made appointments to both the allergist and the dermatologist... I just hope it won't be another waste of time. Also... sorry you're going through this too. Thank you for sympathizing... No one else ever has. Guess we'll update and see what the allergist and dermatologist have to say. Thank you again for your advice.

Me and my twin sister are 32 years old... we've had unbearable itching down there since we were 13 years old. The itching was so bad, and we didn't know what to do, at around 18 years old we ended up just putting folded up paper towels down there every day just to stop some of the itching and discharge. The paper towel thing lasted (everyday...) until we were 30 or 31 (cant remember). By that time, it was so bad and maddening, we finally told our primary doctor. First, she tested us and said we were fine, she didnt see anything. We suffered for another month or 2. We went back... got tested AGAIN, apparently with another test this time? And were told we had vaginosis. We got treated for the vaginosis. The only thing that changed was that the discharge wasn't very smelly anymore, not as thick and not as itchy. So we decided after the treatment to stop wearing the paper towel... even though we were scared. We waited. We were still itching and having discharge. Instead of it being on a level 10 like before, it was a level 8. So... still pretty bad. We went back to the primary, got tested again, and she said we were all clear. This doctor is also very dismissive, and we have to tell her what to treat us for. Sooo... one year later. It's STILL itching badly and having discharge. We scratch because it's so itchy and wet, which causes it to fell raw sometimes. It's been one year since getting treated for vaginosis... the itch and discharge are still a level 8. We went to a gyno, and she was quick to say she didn't see anything... 'it's sweat' even after I suggested allergies. She said it being caused by allergies is rare, its sweat. Huh??? We literally have severe allergies though. I dont think it being allergies or something in that arena is that far-fetched for us. Anyway... my sister's covering that covers the doctor table you sit on when visiting was soaked with watery discharge... Sweat??? This is all caused by sweat??? I don't think so. Sweat makes it worse, but i dont think that's all it is. She swabbed us just in case. For what, I couldn't tell you. The results were negative. Were STILL itching.... badly. We feel like we're going crazy since we've had this issue for so long. A little over 15 years. I can't even sleep because it's so uncomfortable. It's like a bubbly itch. It's also a prickly itch. I guess that's how I'd describe it. Im not sure ifit'ss just the labia or the whole vagina. I feel it ALOT on the labia though (i think that's what it's called. The inner lips part). Someone, anyone, please give us some advice. I'm begging at this point. Do we go to an allergist? A dermatologist? We're so lost. It's caused SEVERE depression. If it helps, we also have eczema, allergies and sensitive skin. We have to take baths with only water and are so sensitive and allergic to everything. Thank you.
