Absolutely you will lose the rebills. They aren't your customers they are CCBill's. When the surfer signed up they agreed to let CCBill charge/rebill them, and no one else.
If you have a site with a lot of members particularly one with great retention, changing third party billing companies is not an option. And keep in mind if you lose all your rebills you will also lose all your best affiliates (assuming you are a "partnership" program). They will be steaming mad and you will have a hell of a time to get them to re-sign-up with your new billing partner.
That's why come hell or high water, even if I have to sign my site over to my American relatives, or hire a dozen lawyers and as many accountants, I will comply with whatever Visa and CCBill say. I'm not going to be a martyr, I'm a businessman.
