- PeterisP 7y agoOkay, I was mistaken there, that seems to be country-specific; and according to http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/752/regulation/90/made http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/752/regulation/90/ma... they should have disclosed the contact info (or sufficient information to sue) at the payer's request. That would have prevented the need for the first (but not the second) lawsuit.
