Re: bill partially owed
They do not have to accept a partial payment. You can enter into a stipulated judgment. They would get a judgment against you and you would agree to make payments.
If they do not want to do that, you could fight the case. Your evidence of the payment would reduce the amount of the debt. You could use that to make an offer pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 998.
You should talk to an attorney about your options.

You could tough it out, go to court, and show your proof at the trial.
