We did some work for a client (lets call him Knb) last summer and have struggled to get payment out of him. DH has, with lots of calls, whittled it down to him owing us £1000. While all this has been going on Knb's marriage has broken down and after our last installment about a month ago he stopped taking DHs calls. After telling Kn*b he would have to go to see his wife if he no longer was communicating (we have no new mail address for him) - H finally did this as a last resort. The wife (and I feel bad about this) made a payment but obviously gave her ex a roasting over it.
The client has now had a complete fit and issued a £3000 invoice for supposed work he did for us The "work" consisted of writing one letter which was never received by anyone, reading through a letter I wrote and making some comments and a "consultation" where he turned up in the evening with a bottle of Whisky, said it would "be better with some Charlie" and moaned about his wife. We never had a quote for work from him or signed a contract so can he do this?
DH is extremely stressed - I will add this chap has a legal background (allegedly)
