That you have a signed note goes to whether there is evidence of your causing damage as opposed to whether there is liability for any damage that exists. Ask them what proof they have that you caused the damage and if it was obvious damage why did their check employee not report it. point out that if you have to sue in Small Claims court you will win because the have no proof.
