Contractor Saying We Owe $100 For "not Going With Their Quote"

Card image cap

Location: South Carolina

Contractor came out 1month ago to property, gave a quote via email the following day. I texted asking to talk on phone to discuss, they were unavailable, and we never connected. I then went another direction.

I get a random text 1 month later saying "we are good to go tomorrow?".

A series of back n forth texts occurred with me having to explain that we never agreed to the quote, nor even put a date on anything.

They tried using screenshots of our phone call history to "prove" we agreed over the phone, but i had to explain that those phone calls were the initial scheduling phone calls that occurred before they even stepped foot on property.

I politely but sternly explained the situation and thanked them for their time but said they must have us confused with another client who "agreed over the phone"

they then said:

"No problem im going need to get with you for the quote an not going with us we talked about this its a hundred dollars if you dont go with us which is fine"

there was never a cost for the quote/estimate disclosed at anytime or cost of "not going with them"

before dialing them up and telling them to absolutely go fuck themselves, i shut off the phone and did not respond as my SO recommended.

as I understand it, they have no legal bearing. but my SO is wondering what to do if:

  1. they show up on property demanding something
  2. they send email invoice or mail invoice
