Some interesting b"**$71# from the directors of the IPC.

 

 

 

 

Motorists who have been issued with parking charge notices by IPC members can appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS). The organisation estimates that around 10% of people issued with a charge notice appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS), a figure that is consistent across England, Wales and Scotland.

The number of appeals resolved in favour of motorists in England and Wales is 24%, while around 21% of Scottish drivers win their appeals.

Most appeals against parking charges are actually resolved without recourse to the IAS, said Davies and Hurley. Parking operators are taking mitigating circumstances into consideration prior to advising the appellant of the IAS appeals service, meaning only 10% of the representations lead to formal appeals, they said. The IAS is hearing around 1,000 appeals a month.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The IPC directors also touched on the BPA’s lobbying of government to introduce a ‘Single Standard Setting Body’ to oversee DVLA accredited trade associations and a single appeals service. The IPC directors said: “The BPA are citing consumer confusion and a lowering of standards as the justification. The IPC considers this to be unsubstantiated scaremongering and a derogation of their duty as an ATA.”

21% of Scottish drivers win their appeals? How many Scottish keepers win theirs because the law doesnt apply in Scotland, that is the real question. it should be 100%

As for the rest, I had to check my calendar for the date
