This. Very much so.
If you went court it’s because you ‘owe’ money if the records show you don’t then he’s barking up the wrong tree
So if anything the solicitors should start hassling Martin for their fees. If it’s that he upset about tell The offer to pay was rejected so leave it as that It’s between him and solicitor. For them to say I think you should be nice dammit is taking the pi55
If he has a gripe tell him he has x days to send you written letter saying that as of this date you are reminded as per your lease to pay biannually maybe a pain for you but at least due diligence is applied here.

The problem here, I believe, is that Martin has an axe to grind because Dammit asks awkward questions thereby forcing Martin to do his job, which of course Martin does not like.
I think there is some of that, definitely, but also Martin instructed the solicitor to pursue me for arrears that I didn't, in fact, have. So he has to pay the solicitor for their time spent if they don't recover it from me.
I did speak to Martin on the phone and he kept saying "I think you have to pay something", but couldn't justify why when I asked him to justify it.
How much notice were you given that they required a biannual rather than quarterly billing schedule?
