What an awful scandal for those poor men and women - some went to prison, some apparently committed suicide
All because a faulty computer system indicated they stole money

What a shameful way to treat honest hard working people. The sheer volume of issues should have flagged up the problem far sooner than it did. I would have wanted a heck of a lot more than £600K for going through what they had to.

Take it or leave it as well and once signed no further action is allowed

That is shocking

Senior figures in the Post Office knew about the flaws but continued to ruin people's lives anyway. Utter scum.

Oh, I think that will soon be defeated. Ambulance chasers will be chomping at the bit!!

Was just about to say that from what I have read, criminal charges may be on their way. Hope this is realised.

It was revealed last week that those that signed a confession ( more than likely taken under duress) were not eligible for compensation either despite being innocent.
