If you are only buying electronic content you probably only need to change your email address. Why not set up a gmail or hotmail address and re-register?
If you buy a lot of paper it could be harder, but a PO Box isn't expensive; where I live anyway. All Amazon should have to identify you by is your address and email address, your real name is irrelevant, and stored credit card data isn't supposed to be used for actual data purposes, it is, in fact supposed to be stored encrypted, so if they were to tell you that your credit card is blacklisted you would have a pretty good argument that they were breaking the data protection laws.
I have never run foul of Amazon, but if I did I would bet that they couldn't stop me continuing to use them as I did before.
Of course, your purchased electronic content is lost, but that's probably the case anyway.
