Guys, seeing as it's now on the open forum, I'm more than happy to supply the contact details for the guy I spoke to at the CAA's compliance unit. They already have names linked (in some cases innocently) to MD, Unique, Sedgley, Baltic Group, Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all.
They're not the only ones taking an interest, believe me (feel free to PM me for details).
Glad I got that off my chest after 9 months.
