Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
To Whom It May Concern:
Having received an Accord and Satisfaction document by certified mail and having cashed the checks is this sufficient to bind me to the Accord and Satisfaction contract? Isn�t it enough that I did not sign it and in fact even send a letter refuting this Accord and Satisfaction?
Can you please provide the law paragraph number and content answering this question?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

Apply simple logic, as the law often does. Some one sends you a check saying do not cash it unless you agree to drop your claim against me. If you cash the check asre you not acepting the proposed settlement? If the other person denies they owe you the amount of money you claim, why would they send you any money unless they believe you will not cash it unless you agree to a settlement.
