A statement of proof in place of a vague accusation would be nice.
Would Plusnet care to say what "all reasonable precautions" means (in the legal sense).
What act of parliament are you relying on for:-
Quote (b) to send, knowingly receive, upload, download or use any material which is offensive, abusive, indecent, defamatory, obscene or menacing, or in breach of copyright, confidence, privacy or any other rights.
Most of those "offences" are only unproven civil offences.
Aren't Plusnet leaving themselves liable to accusations of libel by sending this type of email?
BTW What has this to do with Torrent sites?

I assume this is from PN's AUP.

I doubt it. The email doesn't accuse anyone of anything, plus it fails the "publication" test for defamation (it must be communicated to another person or persons).
Quote from: vilefoxdemonofdoom Surely you include the date, time, ip address name of complainant and any other relevant material.
If I was the OP, I would like to know who the complainant was and receive a copy of the complaint.

Common spam includes requests to contact their bank about internet banking.
I always ignore such stuff.
