The fault lies with the SEO company. More often than not, SEO's use questionable business processes to raise a site's ranking. When Google discovers questionable practices, they often ban sites. Solutionwise, consider dropping your SEO and try to contact Google (at http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py). If you convey that someone was acting on your behalf using methods you were unaware of, they may reconsider your case.

What some sites do is open up the same site under a new name. This may or may not work for you. You should consult with your SEO for their input as well.

Below is a site with notes on how to get back into Google's good graces.

You'll need to contact Google directly if you get banned.
