Hi,

Last year, I worked as a free lancer on one project.

Unfortunately, person I worked for, decided that he is not happy about my work, and he decided to fired me.

After 7 months, he called me, and ask to me return "his" money. In any other case, he will sue me.

His version is that I have to give him 1500 euros, but my version is that he own me another 1500.

I have no contract, only emails and Excel file with counted hours.

What do I have to do?

I don't want to give him back 1500, because it was my work, and his bad management. Also, I do not want my 1500, because I think it's not fair from my side.

What should I do?
