Legal Question in Consumer Law in Illinois

Fireplace rehab
Contracted for Fireplace rehab & provideed a deposit. Job completed though not to our satisf. Delay's due to their mismanagement& eventually determining that the mfg. couldn't provide mantle we ordered thru them. Recv'd bill for $2353.44 which was the balance per contract + a bill for $325. $325 was to complete the mantle as they could not provide w/proper trim. We discussed that they would arrange to havemill work done to recreate the ''same mantle''. We agreed with understanding that this was at their expense. They never told us we would have to pay any add'l amount. We received an invoice the balance (including the extra $325)and also received on the next day a receipt from them charging the enire balance(incl of the extra $325) to my credit card. Back of orig. contract says they can bill the balance upon completion to the cc# used for deposit. Advisedt we were not paying by credit card and were sending them a check & stopped payment with the credit card. Sent check for $2053.44 on 8/9 via Fed ex. w/ a letter outlining our contention that the 2053.44 represented full payment. Check not cashed for almost 2 months. Wish to get this matter closed & make sure that they can not damage our credit rating in any manner. What's next?

Re: Fireplace rehab

Wait and see. If they then put something on your credit report, you will have to pursue legal remedies to remove it if they refuse.
