    No, you take the power away from them right this very second. Write them a registered letter stating the terms under which you are willing to give a refund, if any. You do not contact them under any other terms, and do not answer or speak to anything else. Case closed.

    If it were me, I would just refund them the remaining days under the contract send a certified cheque, and write "FINAL payment" in the memo line...If they accept his, they have accepted the terms under which you are making an exception to your service agreement. And if sued, I would present this to the judge. More than likely they will be tossed out on their ear.

    Then after every attempt of contact resend that exact same text. They seem like they are trying to use scare tactics this will aggravate them as they are not getting the reaction they want. Wait 2 weeks and if they still seem to want the money send it to them through registered mail.

    Though, I suppose they have to start the small claims action not you. This could piss them off and they may try. I do find it hard to believe they would win...but again I wouldn't want to put the time and effort in to seeing if that is true. But I hate when they start putting these demands and scare tactics in place...it is my weakness to dig my heels in and fight back when people start acting like this.

    I will note...giving them 50% implies you agree that they should get their money back and if they did then take you to small claims court it would likely screw you. It's an all or nothing game once they start acting this way.
