I hate blood sucking companys i think every company should personally meet with me before i give them my money
Like come to your house and shake your hand? OH GREAT MR. ARROW WILL YOU PLEASEEEEE PLAY OUR GAME?!?!
Actually i feel sorry for you. Keep on trying to call blizzard. They have a pretty good customer-service, they will help if they can. ATLEAST change the password on the account to something different that only you know. Then cancel the account again. ALSO, it seems like you might have been the victim of a keylogger. If i was you, i would wipe my harddrive. OR you can download programs that monitor any third party activity on your computer along with getting rid of all spyware and viruses.
The safest bet though is to wipe your harddrive.

lol ya they won't do that. Blizzard is a money sucking company just like SOE. and many others. just dont play games made by them if you hate them so much or suck it up.
Let Them HATE, so long as they FEAR

my computer is just fine and im pretty sure i dont have keyloggers i have norton and nothing has been acting strange it actually has been working better XD
first of all Blizz isnt a "blood sucking" company. they initially wanted WoW F2P, but that wasn't possible when it went Gold just on pre-orders. Blizz has to pay a team of people to do frequent updates and added contents. on top of that they have to pay for maintenance. with now an estimate of 10 million players they need some money to keep the game running. WoW is the only game they produced that has a added fee of any sort. Battle.Net is free and will forever remain that way for all the Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft players and who knows what new franchise that may arise in the far future.
Ok, as for the topic at hand. You really need to get control over the account online. If that's not possible then it might be a back and forth ordeal with the customer services. all they need is proof that you are indeed the owner of the account. Cause what kind of company just closes accounts when a person calls. that can cause some troubles with fraud. anyways if you got that out of the way then it's gonna take a couple more calls, but I'm sure they'll get your problem fixed.

if you have the CD key you registered your account with there should be no problem getting the log in info changed or your billing info removed from the account.
Call your credit card company and tell them that they are to charge back any charges originating from Blizzard, period. It might result in never being able to do business with Blizzard again in the future, but your CC company will keep the money from being deducted and the account will be closed due to non-payment.

You can do a credit card chargeback a the poster above me says, I did that with SoE once and I can still play their games, the account got banned and so did that particular account of course, but a new account on a new credit card and it worked, allthough that was a year later.
My brother had the same problem as you but Blizz actually got his account back, it was completely stripped of course and the money was by all probability allready sold on IGN but blizz also did a quick evaluation of the money worth of what had been there and he got that back as well.
Actually they spent quite some effort to make things as rigth as they possibly could, wich I thought was nice and something I had not expected them to do.

If you canceled your account then when someone, you or someone else, reactivates the account they must supply credit card information again so your card shouldn't be getting additional charges. At least that is how it works for me when I cancel.
Most companies, especially credit card companies, will not terminate you on a permanent basis by customer request. Companies always want you to remain a potential customer.
Ah thanks everyone for all this help i give u all a cyber hug (however gay that may be)
but no worries i still hate blizzard for getting me addictied to wow in the first place
