<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I posted [this post] ( some months ago about my old landlord and his lack of communication regarding our security deposit & 1/2 month rent.  We moved out four months ago, with nary a peep from him.  I took pictures of the apartment when we moved out, kept a record of all conversations we had, and I sent him a certified letter with our current address.  I even have a fax from him saying I paid rent on time.  

Yesterday, he called me and told me there were over $3k in damages to the apartment and if we pursued the case, he was prepared to appear to make a counterclaim.  I told him we hadn't heard from him in four months, to which he said that he had been "out of town".  It was not a pleasant conversation.  He also said that we did not paint the apartment back to white (true), and there were lots of gaping holes in the walls (untrue).  He also threatened to ruin my roommate's credit rating.  He said that if we dropped the case he wouldn't pursue us for damages.

My instinct is to think he's trying to bully us into not proceeding with the court case.  Just to quell my self-doubt, he doesn't have a leg to stand on since he never sent us a list for damages in the past four months, right?
<bot>: Old landlord is threatening our credit and OP thinks he's trying to bully us into dropping a small claims case against him.
