Legal Question in Consumer Law in Pennsylvania
cashing check as payment in full
if a contractor does an unsatisfactory job at a residence and is paid by check for 1/2 the amount that was invoiced and it is written on the check payment in full and that contractor cashes that check, is it true that contractor has to accept that payment as payment in full?

No, no necessarily. The law doesn't like tricks, whether by contractors or consumers, and writing "paid in full" in the memo section of a check might not be enough to show an accord and satisfaction.
