PCN challenged - response received after 28 days

Morning All. I have received a PCN for overstaying 20min at a shopping carpark. I challenged the PCN using their online service and received an email saying that they would respond within 28 days. I received the response 33 days later - my challenge was obviously rejected. Do I have any rights to not pay that PCN because they didn't respond within 28 days?

    The simple answer to your question is no.

    What happened when you complained to the landowner?
    Where did the alleged event occur? It may have cropped up here before.
    Have you complained to your MP?
    What is the name of the PPC please?
    Did you reveal the driver's identity when you appealed?
    I married my cousin. I had to...
    I don't have a sister. :D

    It's a car park next to shopping centre (Wembley). restrictions are 90min max. clearly marked.
    I haven't done any shopping there, just went for a meal near by.
    My PCN arrived to my home address with my name on it. it has a photo of my car from a car park camera.
    PCN is from UK Parking Patrol Office.
    I haven't complained to landowner or MP, just challenged the PCN online. when challenging I had to enter my full name otherwise system wouldn't accept it.

    Of course. But that's not the same as ticking 'driver'.

    Did you admit to being the driver, or did you appeal as registered keeper as the NEWBIES thread tells you to?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
