What legal action can we take against inflated payment demand?

What should we do now that he is requesting 60,000? We do not have a proper recording of our agreement, but I believe the remaining amount was approximately 150,000. I am sure we agreed to pay 100,000, and we have already paid 90,000, leaving a remaining balance of 10,000. However, he is now asking for 60,000. What should I do?

In this scenario, a number of actions need to be taken. First, evidence of the discussion with him and the original agreement must be collected; if there are the letters, messages, or statements of witnesses. Then, clearly talk to him again, repeating the understanding reached regarding the agreement and how much you already paid. Try to settle a case based on the balance he owes you. Finally, seek legal advice to learn what your rights and options are if he insists on being unreasonable.
