PCS probably haven't paid their BPA fees - hence the expulsion.
If it really is for not working in line with the code of conduct there should be dozens more following them.0 -

I would think that all of them would be expelled in that case
Wonder if these jokers can be done from profitting from the proceeds of illegal activities or in other words crimes ? Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -

If individuals can be shown to profit from illegal activity it may be possible for the Proceeds of Crime Act to be used. This is proving a very powerful tool in civil cases.
It has been used in Planning cases where an individual is refused planning permission for say a shop, ignores it and carries on selling goods. Planning appeals take years and there aren't enough enforcement officers. If there is a blatant disregard for the law authorities can instigate action under PCA and all assets can be siezed!0 -

Isn't issuing tens of thousands tickets that are plainly a penalty a blatant disregard of the law ?Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?

If something is to be done about the BPA propaganda then its going to have to be done now. Take a look at this page of Lynne Featherstone MP's blog (she's a junior Home Office minister). Click Here
That substantial chunks of this are then quoted by Patrick "Private Tickets are virtually unenforceable" Troy of the BPA is more than worrying.
As for the expulsion of PCS from the AOS (not from membership of the BPA - just the Approved Operator Scheme) may have had something to do with this story.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
A token expulsion to further the BPA's aims.0

I notice on PCS's website that they are still boasting that they are a BPA approved operator. Naughty, naughty!What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

More BPA propaganda:- BPA Master Plan (pdf)
We want to see an independent appeals service for the entire private parking sector, similar to the principles established by existing road traffic law provided for local authority parking enforcement throughout the UK.
We want to see government legislate to make the owner liable for charges imposed in private car parks or on private and unregulated land to bring this in line with the principles established by the existing road traffic law or require the owner to identify the driver.
We want government to make membership of an Accredited Trade
Association (ATA) compulsory for all parking operators that undertake
enforcement on private land.
In the longer term, we want government to fully regulate private parking
operators through working in partnership with them.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

In other words, we are willing to share our ill gotten gains in return for legitimacy. Government and PPCs, an alliance made in hell.Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!0
