The phone number seems to be that used by several London boroughs for PayByPhone contact( though, probably incidentally, different from the one give for phone bookings on the company's own website). They also say, at https://support.paybyphone.com/hc/en-001/articles/11574881494545-Is-PayByPhone-free:
"PayByPhoneParking rates are set by the parking operator and should match the cost of paying at a traditional meter. However, some locations may add a small service fee, typically less than $0.50 (USD) or £0.35 (GBP), which is determined by the parking authority."
There's nothing on the signage pictured to imply that the motorist is contracting with the council to pay any service fee. I suggest someone asks a councillor, to check what Southwark have to say and report back.
Not to be too gloomy but the SRA are pretty hopeless. They seem to spend loads of resource hammering easy minor negligence cases relative to serious difficult cases like fraud. The SRA is itself under investigation:
