I believe my live.co.uk account has been hacked/spoofed as contacts have been sent messages not from me.

Have tried various means found on this and other sites and end up with either:

 "account needs to be deactivated" message but when I try giving the reason I have been hacked it just takes me back to the previous page

or

a message saying the server has a problem try later

I strongly suspect that although I have started off on a Microsoft site I have ended up on a well designed spoof.

When phoning Microsoft they say as I am not paying they cannot help and say contact this site, can I pay Microsoft to solve the problem?
