Well, Fuse2 came back to me quite quickly. Maybe because its Friday afternoon and someone wants to go home..
But basically they said "the number ranges will have been purchased by a customer and be in use by them" and that I should report them to the relevant body if I think they aren't following the rules, so a somewhat generic "k thx bai" - not that I expect them to tell me anything remotely in detail about a potential customer anyway, but doesn't exactly sound like they will do anything further from their side.
