If an ISP encourages spam, they won't change unless they get complaints. If they were indeed innocent (i.e., a rogue user), they want to hear about it so they can correct the problem and save their reputation. Make sure you hit the right postmaster, though (there are lots of websites that tell you how to figure this out). Junk complaints to a forged header is just as bad as the original spam.
