A search for them on google and the law society comes up with nothing so far.
Also if the isp has done this without a court order it leaves them in a legally precarious situation. as downloading a torrent does not constitute piracy this could leave them foul of the data protection act. but please elaborate. also if anyone would chime in with there thought that would be great

ISP's only hand over customer details when a court order demands, this is normal and this isn't new. They wouldn't be handing over information on any person that has used bottorrent period.

because of bit-torrents total lack of privacy, honey pots are quite common.
This is where they know full well the torrent you're downloading is ilegal, mainly because it was they who set it up, they then get your name and address from your ISP (with court order) and send you a scary letter, hoping that you will then see the error of your ways.

I've read quite a lot about people around the Web getting letters from this company. Most people tend to be just ignoring them flat out, guessing that the company has set up dodgy torrents in order to snare people in and scam them for moneys. This is the first I've heard of an ISP being 'requested'.

If the assumption is that anyone using torrents for illegal downloads, then yes that is wrong - however an allegation would still need to be proved in court. In practice I would expect the process to be
An organisation gets information about your IP address from some source or other (perhaps a seized computer that has copyright material on it)
It then applies for a warrant to a court to get the ISP to release their logs andabout your activity. i don't believe that an organisation can get the details (or thyat and ISP could release those details) without reasonable suspiciion which would lead to a warrant... but I am not a lawyer!
