Narky Driving Instructor

Basically started with a new driving instructor 4 weeks ago, have had 4 2hr lessons with him. When I started I told him my test was booked for beginning of march (Have driven loads in the past so this was just refreshing and polishing to be test ready) 3rd lesson he advised me to move my test....ok....moved test to end of March, spoke with him to confirm, he said fine. 2 days later he texts me to say he can't do that date so to move again! I wasn't prepared to keep swapping and changing and in theory dragging it out for the sake of what I think would be his own gain- payment wise, so I found another Instructor.
Was supposed to have a lesson with him this Wednesday (2pm) called him yesterday (Around 4pm) to tell him it wasn't working for me so I had therefore found somebody else, he was really aggressive, told me I'd never pass my test with this other person...Bitter about losing the business I think...so the BU part is he said I would still have to pay him for wednesdays lesson as I hadn't given him 48 hours notice, (I'd given near enough 46 hours, but ok...) those are his terms. I agreed to pay as per his 'terms' and he will be coming to collect his money tomorrow but OH is annoyed with me and adamant I shouldn't pay him and he's taking the piss because he's annoyed he's lost the custom....so should I pay him or not?!

Well, I paid him for arguments sake. He claimed he really should be charging me for saturdays lesson too at the cost of £48 as all weekend cancellations are chargeable! Give someone an inch they take a mile! Haha
