From their perspective it's no more than user error, you didn't pause/stop your campaigns so the platform did it's job and the ads kept running.
Chalk it up to experience, and either pay it or lose your adwords account. The account won't have a bearing on your organic search position FYI.
I made a similar mistake once, set up a campaign at about 3am half asleep, went to bed, woke up to find I spent $3,000 not $300 running a test (which grossed $200 revenue). Ugh. My mistake though, so I ate it and moved on
Bear in mind that if you get an account banned you'll never be able to open another in your own name, or use the same home address, etc.
If you're going to need adwords in future don't lose this account now.
Sucks, but sometimes we have to learn the hard way through our own mistakes. It was your own fault :/
