They blamed the service provider.. BrandShield called for removal of the page, not the whole site.

Brandshield sent a fraud report to the domain registrar. Unless they are also your hosting provider, a domain registrar has no control over individual pages, only over the domain as a whole. So this was the only action you could expect to be taken, if you expected the domain registrar to act, and you sent them a fraud report hoping they'd act. So claiming they only tried to take an individual page down is disingenuous at best, and more likely just an out and out lie.
