Bet the prog hasn't reported that the owner of Gladstones is involved in IPA either, has it?? ("Independent"). That's quite a revelation most would be interested in. Corruption of the highest order if it's true. Makes me sick. 

And did you know the BPA did the same when they could not afford to pay London councils who at the time were POPLA ..... they introduced another solicitor called Wright Hassall as POPLA, now known as WHOPLA.  Same thing, Wright Hassall rejected appeals and then sued motorists ? 

And you are forgetting the Independent Scrutiny Board which was set up and funded by the BPA in 2014 to oversee the decisions by POPLA. Wright Hassall refused to to be subject to this "oversight" and since there were no longer any decisions to review, the BPA simply cancelled all funding for the Board and it was dissolved.

100%

Once upon a time, there were two solicitors.
One was an old family business and the other .. well let's just say he had just come out of court ?  

The family business solicitor took him on and the bottom line is they convinced a very stupid Transport Secretary that they were suitable to become an ATA

From this the great Gladstones / IPC/ IAS scam was born
The idea was to reject the majority of appeals from motorists and then Gladstones would take over and sue them.
Not only were the courts sucked into the scam, so were government

The famed Parking Prankster exposed the scam and all of a suden the family solicitor split from the other fella 
The IAS, that's the other fella, allows about 4% of appeals and the family bod takes over

This is the story of one of the biggest scams since POFA2012 was invented

It is fair to say that the new appeals service will scupper the IAS as with POPLA 

Do the SRA know about all of this ??  I suspect so.
All this needs is a young up and coming journo to dig deep 

And did you know the BPA did the same when they could not afford to pay London councils who at the time were POPLA ..... they introduced another solicitor called Wright Hassall as POPLA, now known as WHOPLA.  Same thing, Wright Hassall rejected appeals and then sued motorists ? 

Who knows how much money was stolen but it will be more than the Great Train Robbery

This story must be told and there are many on here who will join in  

Unbelievable. It really does need exposing.

I have appealed to POPLA in past & realised straight away from their unprofessional response that they all in it together. Part of the reason I didn't bother to engage in the process this time around. I went to my local councillor as I sensed corruption. Nothing much came of that. I shall write to my MP & pl let me know how else I can effectively support the fight against these cowboys.
