My understanding was that if you use a third party billing company with your own merchant account details then you own the rebills and can move them but if you use a third party biller in the usual fashion, they own the rebill info as it is attached to their merchant account.

You are correct in your description of the handling of transactions billed through your own, versus an IPSP's merchant account. If an IPSP were to give you credit card numbers, as someone on this thread said that iBill has done, they would be terminated as an IPSP and a Merchant. l bet that IF iBill transferred card data it was because they were billing for a merchant with his / her own account.
It is plain and simple: Card numbers and cardholder data must be held by the Merchant of record in a secure (read: encrypted) environment and may not be passed between merchants.
