I am being sued for 2592.00 from my electricaian in TX. I owe him 875.00 and am willing to pay upon the completion of the job, which has not been finished 100%. He is now saying that the work is finished, which it is not, and that I owe him an additional 300.00 for extra work performed that was not authorized by me. I have offered to pay him his original 875 and court filing fees with interest for 60 days, but he refused the offer. He now says that if I want to settle before court I need to pay him 1500. I want to know what I am responsible for paying him. I won't argue that he is owed nothing, and I am willing to pay him upon completion. By the way this charge is for balancing three ceiling fans and repairing an under cabinet light. The price alone is too high, but I just want this out of my hair. I don't want to get stuck though with an amount of money to pay beyond what was agreed upon. There was a verbal agreement for the 875.00 and not the second part. I said I would pay upon completion.
