That's the threat, yeah. And yes, it's not technically correct--but, as many others have pointed out, you don't need to have a correct legal claim to inflict thousands of dollars of legal fees on a target. Hell, part of what those legal fees pay for is an expert to explain whether or not that deadline applies. More than that, most people simply do not have the time to memorize laws, or to get the legal background required to understand whether a law applies. This is partly a problem with laws being complex and having their own jargon--but that doesn't excuse what's going on here.
