From the Pranksters Blog (comments section) it is reported that an FOI request has revealed that BPA Ltd currently owe around £168k to London Councils for POPLA appeals.
Also that BPA Ltd first defaulted on their payments on 20th Feb 2015.

See:https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/290903/response/710349/attach/html/2/Green%20response%20FOI%202015%2057.pdf.html

I trust that London Councils will shortly be taking enforcement action :rotfl::T.

    maybe the DVLA should turn off the tap until they've paid up
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    "The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"

    Just send in Debt Recovery Plus, or ZZPS, or some other scary debt collector.

    Presumably this is a cash flow problem where the PPC's aren't paying the BPA for the POPLA service.

    Not surprising really. Would you trust a PPC to pay their bills?

    Perhaps the BPA should get a Experian credit score on it's members.

    It might be quite enlightening!

    I think the credit scores for the PPCs would all come back as 2 digits at most, probably 0.

    Why am I not surprised. It seems that all these horrible motorists appealing to popla are the problem. Imagine the bill when all those PE stayed cases go through (He He)
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
