Do you konw the hoster he's moving to? (i.e. the admins/management?)  I
had a customer do the same thing, but moved to an ISP where I knew the
admin.  They put a reminder on his bill that he needed to clear up his
billing with us as well.  They didn't help with collection, but just a
note appearing on another ISP's invoice was enough for him to pay.  Here,
most of the ISP's know each other and we do help each other out some.
