None of that really matters when you have guilt upon accusation.

Hellmark, that's how your ISP identified IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx as you and why you got the warning letter.
They probably checked their logs, and believe it was connected to you at the time (you being MAC address xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or whatever).
They don't have IP address = Hellmark. They have IP address at that time = device with this MAC address = activated on Hellmark's account/address.
