Just to play devils advocate...

Sounds like maybe they lost his information 1 too many times. Don't know until you've heard both sides of the story. 🙂

It was his first year, Paypal payment - no billing to lose.
 
Oh comon - this just gets better... this client just emailed me:
> Hey is there any way that i can get my files off my web account before it is deleted? i seem to be unable to log into my account.
 
No you're correct, it's not ... but we didn't start it either, rather felt compelled to defend my company's name from false statements. I've removed all identifying information from the information I've posted - there's no domain or names being mentioned. The OP knows who he is, and so do I - thats all that matters.

I really don't think you even need to respond to an attack like this. Everyone knows hostpc.com is a very well respected host.
 
I don't see this as private info. There's no identifying information other then dates when invoices went out and the OP's rather bizarre and childish response to them. I would have done same probably.

Thing is, people come to forums and cry foul about their hosts, but when the host deems it appropriate to defend themselves from unfair accusations, some people seem to get the idea that they have no right to do so.

That is hypocritical.
