How to quickly/simply re-enable your Apple ID!

Question

A few weeks back, my credit card information was stolen and used on a new iTunes account, so my card was banned and both accounts (mine and the fraudulent one) were disabled. I had the card cancelled and the funds recovered quickly, but my account was disabled even after changing my password. Lo and behold, there is an easy solution for this issue, and it re-enables your Apple ID for use not just in iTunes, but also in the App Store, during software updates, etc.

Click the link above, select something like "iTunes Account"-related problem, and just write a quick note about the situation. Once you've submitted the request, you receive a case number and have the option for e-mail interaction, or for a technical support representative to even call you directly, right then and there. I chose the second option and spoke with a very knowlegable guy named Brandon, and not only was he both sympathetic to the situation and thorough in handling it, he had my ID up and running again in less than five minutes.
Note: you will have to change your password again to re-enable the ID, but your representative should send an e-mail with a link directly to your account, where you can change your password back to something of your choosing.
Another tricky situation expertly handled by the fine folks at Apple, and another reason I'm a proud fan!

If you know your current answers then log into your account on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password & Security section of your account, answer your existing questions and you can then change them
If you've forgotten your answers and you have a rescue email address on your account (an alternate email address is different) then as above go to the Password & Security section and you see see a reset link beneath your current questions : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
