Hi,

The easy way is to use this trick with javascript.

1)  Add : onclick for the checkbox given that this checkbox is always unchecked by default.

<apex:inputCheckbox value="{!RMA__c.I_don_t_have_an_Account__c}" label="Don't have account"  onclick="myFunction()" 
</apex:inputCheckbox>      

2) Put the block section in a hidden div by default:

  <div id="myDIV" style="display:none">       
          <apex:pageBlockSection title="Company Details" columns="1" collapsible="true"> 
                <apex:inputField value="{!RMA__c.Company_Name__c}" label="Company Name"/>
                ...          
          </apex:pageBlockSection>  
  </div>

3) Use a little javascript code to toggle the value of the display attribute.

   <script>   
       function myFunction() {
        var x = document.getElementById('myDIV');
        if (x.style.display === 'none') {
            x.style.display = 'block';
        } else {
            x.style.display = 'none';
        }
    }
    </script>
    <apex:form >  

Best regards
Alain
