Question

I have a dispute with a service provider regarding the amount I owe him. According to my understanding, I owe him a certain amount, but he insists on receiving the full amount he demands. Am I obligated to deposit into his bank account the amount I am certain I owe him, even though from his perspective it's only part of what he is entitled to, or am I allowed to say to myself: when we agree on the amount of the debt, then I will pay him what he is due?

Answer

Hello

You must pay the part that you are certainly obligated to pay.

This is unrelated to his additional demands for a higher amount.
