Hacked! Help me prove who I am.

Question

My account has been hacked, and after completing four account recovery attempts I've recieved generic emails back stating that I've provided insufficent information. The main verification information asks for the date that I signed up for my account, and the email that I provided at that time.
However, I signed up in 2007 or 2008 and have no original confirmation emails in any of the email accounts I've used since, so I can't provide that. I can confirm any other information you'd like, including taking a photo of or providing the credit card number linked to the account, verify my address, scan in my birth cerfificate,  or having a number of the contacts on my Skype contact list who have volunteered to verify that I'm the real person behind the username. But I haven't been able to find out how to livechat with an agent to provide this information.
Now, because I'm locked out of my account, I've been billed nearly $200 in fraudulent charges on my credit card because I can't remove it from my account! I've had to cancel the credit card, which means hours more work online in updating all the accounts that I use to run my business. 
I use my skype account as a key part of how I coach and connect with my clients. And I use my username accross all platforms that I hold accounts on, including my domain name. It would be extremely easy to verify that I am who I am if someone would look at the situation.
I have over 140,000 followers on Pinterest, and nearly 5000 followers on Twitter, and I'm talking with them about this experience daily because I never thought that Skype would let long time customers down so significantly. Several of them have already cancelled their accounts, and I'm committed to staying vocal if my help requests are going to continue being ignored and sent generic email replies that don't allow me to participate in recovering my account.
Please help me! How do I connect with a customer support person for a live chat? I've been victimized here, and I'm shocked that it's so hard to get help.
