VCS Website - Why the BPA logo

arthurx1234

Just noticed that VCS has the BPA badge on its website, the writing underneath is very small, i think it says BPA member. They are not a BPA member
I think i may have seen this on their PCN,S also

they could be a member, Excel are a member and this is the sister company

personally, I think they are a member, but you could be mixing up membership compared to which AOS they are using

to clarify, I think they are a member of both trade associations

BUT , they and Excel now use the IAS part of the IPC for appeals

this has been explained in other threads, where in some cases the logos have been compared

How do you know they are not a member of the BPA? They are no longer a member of the BPA Approved Operator Scheme, but that doesn't mean they're not a member of the BPA.

BPA corporate members , same thing but different


nice n clean BPA logos , use IPC


and drink with the BPA boys at the club


2 different logos , one for corporate members , one for members that use POPLa


more complicated than that , but that's the jist

That's not the same thing.

We know they're not members of the BPA AOS, but they could be members of the BPA.

there are different logo,s , check out the logo,s used by VCS against the ones used by Excel


BPA corporate site , check the corporate fees , also read that local councils etc can join , also note the bit underneath


If your organisation is involved in any form of off-street enforcement then you must also become a member of an Accredited Trade Association such as the BPA's Approved Operator Scheme (AOS). Fees for the scheme are below.


this is extra to drinking with the toffs

The logo is too small for me to make out it deffo says BPA and almost sure it says member.
I think I would get more sense out of Frank Gallagher than any of these IPC/BPA/AOS Pi*$ in the same bucket T*Sspots

as you can see , the words on the second , sort of give it away

They are BPA members but not BPA approved operator members, many council's and other companies including bailiffs, debt collectors plus A N Others are BPA members.

How many more times? It is perfectly possible for a company to be a member of the BPA yet not be a member of the BPA Approved Operator Scheme.

This is the BPA AOS logo:



Can you see that on the VCS website? Hint: no.

This is the BPA members' logo:



Is that on the VCS website? Looks like it. Ergo, VCS is almost certainly a member of the BPA, but not a member of the Approved Operator Scheme.

n.b. there is nothing to prevent them being members of both the BPA and the IPC, as indeed it seems they are.
