Once payment stops resources are not returned (as far as my example shows 
below).  See:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/ncc-services-wg/2004/msg00100.html
for an example I've been tracking for 5 years now (company bankrupt).

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/membership/alloclist.txt
shows the following still:
il.doarnet
     DoarNet Ltd.

     19981211    212.77.128/19   ALLOCATED PA

So in theory your idea sounds nice.  In practice it doesn't work.
