Yahoo will not let me Delete my Account

This is ridiculous. I have had nothing but trouble and annoyance with yahoo. I have an email account on Yahoo that I never use because I created another one on gmail. When I had tried to use Yahoo mail in the past I encountered glitches with importing and accessing my contacts, being unable to forward mail, use away messages, etc. This week my Yahoo email address (which had not been used or logged into for over 90 days) was hacked and spam was sent out to all of my Yahoo contacts. The only way that I found out was because one of my contacts wrote to me through my gmail account to inform me that I had been hacked.

Needless to say, this was upsetting, especially because when I logged into the Yahoo account there was no sign of the hacking in my Sent Mail folder. I immediately changed my password and after some careful thought, decided it would be in my best interest to delete the account. I logged into the account and went to the page to terminate the account. It asks you to enter your password (once again) to confirm your identity and to also enter a captcha. Now even though I am already logged into my account in order to access this page in the first place it says my password is incorrect.

I entered it about twelve times and each time was unsuccessful. I am so fed up with Yahoo. They obviously don’t want to lose users and so they are going about it in a very unethical way. I am furious that I ever attempted to use their services. I will continue to try to terminate my account.
