Check Indicating "fINAL PAYMENT" when more is outstanding
I recently received a check from a client which was marked "Payment in Full". The check was for $450.00. The actual amount due was $865.00, but the customer is disputing the increased cost. Can I DELETE the notation on the front of the check, initial it, and cash the check and then seek the additional money owed through normal collection processes?

Re: Check Indicating
You should endorse the check "under protest" and make a copy of both the front and back of the check.
