Adding it how - after a full breakdown of all the lies? Cannot be stand alone. 
Maybe show us the signs
But you had months to ask this!

I've attached my redacted WS with photos, can you not see this? Just looking to see if I can add anything else that will help in this case that I might have missed out.

I'd suggest posting the photos in the thread. That way youre not relying on people downliading a doc
Make it easy for people here.

Not sure if i was allowed to post photos but

Those pics are great evidence.  There is no way you knowingly agreed to £100 payment.

An urgent task – deadline is MONDAY!

Please now make a real difference because not enough people have yet, and time is running out.  

The Government is consulting for just a few more days, about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework intended to rein in the rogue parking firms. 

Does it go far enough?  Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation (two separate consultation documents). 

HOW TO DO THE SUBMISSIONS:

BSI PAS 232 – COMMENTING ON THE CODE OF PRACTICE AS DRAFTED :

1. You will need to register then log in, to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker.  

2. Register, log into the BSI page, and download & read the cover letter here:

https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2020-00193#/section

3. Read the cover letter again and note the suggested extra questions... if you agree that, say, the 'loading/unloading and dropping off, asking for directions, and disabled people parking on double yellows as they can on street' activities listed should be exempt (not parking events, what do you think?) then please go to the Annexes at the end of the PAS Code and find the one about Exempt Vehicles and state what other activity you think should be added to the exempt list. 

 

4. Download the PAS itself and start commenting on what you wish to say something about.  Quick links to each section appear on the left of your page.  

You don’t have to comment on everything, e.g. you might want to skip the definitions and focus on later sections, and certainly look at the Annex tables at the end that show things like consideration & grace periods and exemptions.

5. Submit comments when you are happy with them. Don’t just ‘SAVE’ and forget!

THAT IS HALF THE JOB DONE!

THE MHCLG CONSULTATION IS EASIER AS IT IS JUST A LIST OF QUESTIONS.  

6. You can do it first if preferred or pushed for time:

Don’t forget that answering these questions is the easier bit…

That entrance sign is golden. It contains what looks to be a complete set of terms for parking, an offer of an mount etc. Nothing telling you to look in the car park for more signs. Signs are i distinct and indee partially painted over. Nothing by the pay and display machine 

you must absolutely major on that.

The signs are junk ........ do EPS really think they can defend such rubbish in court ...... clearly they do and I suspect that they also believe in fairies ? 
I bet though, the boys hiding in the Knutsford Golf club would have had a go, they love the feel of the hot cane the judges have on their desk

That photo I have attached is actually a zoomed in picture, fairly high up on the wall and still struggle to read it. They have also attached an orange parking sign in the claiments WS to see parking T&Cs which they claim is that the front of the parking entrance according to their 2015 site plan, guess they are wrong.
