Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

If a check is sent to a party for a a partial payment with a note stating this is a partial payment and a payment will be sent every month until the amount is paid off and they cash it, can they after the fact send a letter saying they do not accept the terms and charge an additional fee? Or by cashing the check it serves as an acceptance of the payment plan?
