    I can't see this is a silver bullet, so would NOT try IAS.

    There are signs in the car park then; the PPC will show pics of them, and the IAS Assessor will swallow everything from the PPC because the IAS is NOT an independent appeals service in the accepted meaning of those words according to normal, fair-minded people.

    Ignore them unless they issue a small claim, which is the stage where we see people win almost every time.

    Thanks for this, coupon-mad. Would it actually hurt my defence to try an IAS then?

    Probably not.

    What do you hope to gain from it? Why bother?

    I would not tell any newbie to try a waste of time IAS (only when it's PCM or if there is a silver bullet). The problem is it makes people think they are on the back foot when they lose.

    People say it won't affect them and they know what they are doing and want to try, then they come back saying ''waaaah, I lost and they knocked down all my appeal points - NOW what's my next step or shall I pay?''

    I for one can't be bothered to see that again! I would not try IAS (except re PCM).

    The great IPC/IAS SCAM set up by the notorious Gladstones
    solicitors

    The government were stupid enough to give them
    ATA status not knowing this is a sordid members club,
    and as a members club they back their scamming PPC's

    We won't be happy until the Laurel and Hardy boys
    who set this huge scam up are behind bars, it's long
    overdue
