If you have nothing in writing, it is going to be difficult to prove there was a settlement. I would try to get a letter from the attorneys. Also, if you protect yourself by putting in a memo section of the check or money order you used to settle something like settlement or paid in full, that would help you.

Yes. You would have a lawsuit against them however it would be your word against theirs. One way to handle the matter is to write a certified letter to them confirming the details of the negotiation and settlement agreement.
