Bring the specific issue into view
A penalty question should be connected to the actual notice and period, while payment difficulty may require a financial discussion. Mention both without assuming they have the same answer. Ask which records support the proposed work and what current requirements apply. The first conversation should leave you clearer about the assistance, cost and next action.
