Yes, you can cancel the card even if there is a balance remaining on it. You contact the credit card company and request the card be cancelled. You will no longer be able to use the card, but you still pay the balance, either in monthly payments or in a lump sum. But you do not have to pay the balance in full when you cancel the card.
