Complain to the FSA as they are now a bank and therefore to offer their services here are registerred thus.
I think what might have happened is that one of his customers where dodgy and he'll find he'll be out of pocket in the end.
If you are sending expensive items always always get it sent recorded or special dleivery and keep the slips as proof.
Also they can't refuse to tell him why they are closing his account, they would need to outline the reason to him as it could adversely affect his credit history/rating
Other way of doing it is by the use of the Data protection act, can get enverything they have on him for a fee of approx £13
And if they don't respond their is a fine of £1000, and then he can pursue them through the courts
