The only problem is that if I post my case reference, it exposes my personal data (name, address, alleged IP address, evidence I submitted including details of my home and business networks, what UBR I'm on etc).

Also, DL are not the first people I have taken to Small Claims Court. If I give out my name or case reference number it would be possible for anyone to find all cases related to me. I also don't want ACS to know my identity, as I am hoping to get a letter from them and try to force the issue to go to court. If they know who I am, they won't send me one.

Anyway, this method is not a solution for most people. I was only able to claim monetary loss because it affected my work and I was able to demonstrate that. I wasted time I could have spent making money on checking my network and amassing evidence to defend against a frivolous accusation that was dropped before ever reaching court. If you threaten someone with legal action and cause them to loose money preparing a defence and communicating with you, only to drop the case the moment you realise they are not simply going to pay your "fine" then you can expect to reimburse them.
