Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

Re: Paid In Full on Check

Generally, marking a check "Paid In Full" is not sufficient to extinguish a balance due on an account. However, I would consider sending the creditor a copy of the cancelled check and demand that they mark the account closed. Because it is a relatively small amount they may close the account.
