I run a BID in Birmingham and no way do we charge BID Levy to people who are not members. You cant be refused membership, this is a statutory thing, you just are a member. In our area only a few businesses are not members that will generally be because they pay under £10k rateable value.
Methinks the question is wrong.

This sounds like a raw deal.
On the surface it appears to be a business matter so not sure if local CAB would be able to help, but probably worth a try.
Alternatively you can write to the "Ombudsman" who I am sure would be interested in this matter.
Good luck.
