This is probably the right answer, alas.  If you want to get arsey in any
way with B - e.g. by closing A's account and lettting them create a new one
- you should also consider whether it is large enough that the people there
who use your service are a separate group from the people who pay your
invoices.  In a reasonably sized organisation, Credit Control will employ -
and respect - hardnosed attitudes that would make the average programmer
(for example) blush, but if it's a three man startup and the same guy is
doing both, that's probably not such a good idea.
