FOI against PPCs

I've just been browsing some of the PPCs websites and their statements regarding appeals ( yes, I know I'm sad ! ).
Anybody know if they are covered by the Freedom of Information Act ? Just thought I might use some of their email addresses to request how many appeals they have had and how many have been successful. If they are covered by FOI and don't provide the information then they can be reported to the Information Commissioner and possibly fined !
What fun could be had

Might try it anyway - they clearly don't know the law so I might fool a few of them

Simple, threaten them with a fine of £10,000 if they do not reply within 7 days. This will have all the legality of their silly paper aeroplanes. Then threaten CCJs and bailiffs. Oh and call yourself the Scammer Investigation Agency (SIA).Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!0

If you want to do an FoI request - hit the DVLA & ask how much they make out selling on drivers details- which would bring you into some very interesting Data Protection areas regarding the selling of information0
