Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Tennessee
collections
I have just received a check for work performed for a client marked ''full payment'' and designating the invoices it is full payment for. Trouble is, it is only partial payment. Do I cash the check? If I do, am I accepting that as full payment? Can I collect the rest of my money?

Re: collections
Cashing a check marked that way can create issues for collecting the balance later. You should contact the client and ask for a new check without the "full payment" language or seek the counsel of an attorney to look at the specific details of your case.
