I am so sorry. Can he lie? I think your question proves he did lie. If he is harrassing you file a protective order against him. But you should reply to his email calmly and state the terms under which you were to pay the bills and proof of payment. Be calm and start with something like "I can understand your ocncner and under the agreement I have X amount of months to pay the bill. If you paid it please send proof" and then decide how you are going to handle it (paying him directly, etc). Good luck.
