Freeholder requesting back payment for Maint and ground rent

[JP1906]

My Freeholder is requesting back payment for Maintenance and ground rent. I would have happily paid over the years, in fact even up to 2018 I requested the balance but heard nothing so I gave up. (we have emailed about other things over the years so the email address has always been correct) I have now been handed a sheet requesting back payment from 2013. Where do I stand? Is there an amount of time that cant be reclaimed in law or is it just the Freeholder being an idiot?
Thanks

By law, he can only go back by 6 years for arrears ground rent.

There is an 18 month rule for service charges that may mean he can't go back further unless he previously notified you of costs
