APP pulled after 10 months for nonexistent trademark!?!?

I have had an app live for over 10 months that sells pretty well pulled for trademark infringement for a trademark that is nonexistent. I know you are thinking well someone probably filed for it and just got it approved and is requesting apps take down anything that violates their newly approved trademark right? Wrong. This trademark doesn't exist. It has had one person file and guess what? IT WAS ME! I will be getting approved for the trademark. To bring it all back, I had the app pulled and have resubmitted 5 times to get generic responses about needing a letter from the property right holder to use the name in which I AM trademarking, and currently does not exist at all! So withe act said they will not reprove the app for something that doesn't exist. Seller discrimination?? I don;t know. I simply do not understand this. My last point here. They ask to provide documentation right? Where can you submit documentation for them to see even if you had it for a real situation unlike this? You can't provide it!! I write this out of frustration but also to see if anyone else has a similar situation!? Please respond back and let me know. Thanks (P.S. I sent about 10 emails on this issue and of course the refuse to answer and solve this issue.)
