Hello,
I have gone through your query and would like to inform you that you have to rebutt and reply to the legal notice of the opposite party as not replying to the same you agree to the same allegations. After giving your detailed reply you are done on your part.
Thank you

it is not always essential to reply a legal notice however it could be an important document for future references.
the purpose of a pleaders notice and its rejoinder is just to show that a proper communication has been taken place between the parties.

Non sending reply might have adverse consequences. However, in your facts it is worth taking a risk.Before he files a case, file a case in the State Consumer Commission. That will help you a lot. Get payment receipts and all documents.
