Their wording, not mine: "The Penalty Charge of £120.00 must be paid no later than the last day of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this Notice. If the Penalty Charge is paid no later than the last day of the period of 21 days beginning with the date of service of this Notice it will be reduced by 50% to £60.00." Based on the general meanness of the service, I think it's reasonable to presume that they phrased it this way so some people would not read to the end and overpay £120 instead of £60. Given such bad faith, I don't see why I should make the effort to rephrase their own statements to look more favourable towards them.
