Too right, tell him to you owe him nothing, and to find another mug to try it on with, and dont ever use him again!!

What area are you from?  I had a similar problem with a young lad straight out of his exams.

Expected me to do most of the work, gave us a price for the whole year after explaining that we where a new business and short of funds. Then when it came to year end slapped us with an additional bill for £600
600

Ask him which professional body he belongs to and initiate the complaints procedure.  DO NOT PAY.  That should shut him up.

yuor accounts, should show what you payed him over the last 7 years, see what all the invoices add up to.

question, did you sign anything to agree to the £500 per year.

it sounds abit iffy to me, possible report it to trading standards and see if they can help you any.

good luck mate
