So who's name and address was on the PCN you received ? This is the first time you'v e mentioned that it is a lease car. Knowing whether a car is owned or is leased/hired is crucial for us to give advice.
Under the legislation, the owner of the vehicle as recorded on the V5C Registration Certificate for the vehicle has responsibility for payment or appealing, but hire and lease companies can submit reps that they are a hire/lease company, and pass on name and address of the hirer on the date of the alleged c ontravention. A second PCN is then served on that name and address and the first one cancelled.
I think the links to the PCN isn’t working I have uploaded them again:

I understand what you have mentioned, I never got any information form the Hire company until 12/02 by email:
