If you signed no contract and there was no terms requiring cancellation, then you should win.

The bigger problem is if they ding your credit. Therefore, you want want to sue them in small claims Court first.

Re: cleaning company threating to sue

Send them a letter with a 'payment in full' check, explaining you are paying for only what is fair and justified under the contract. If they sue, then defend the suit. It will likely be in small claims. You could have an attorney advise you on how to present your case in court, even if he can't appear for you in small claims. Feel free to contact me if you want to do that, if you are in SoCal.
