Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
Full and Final Payment
If I owe an a collection bill! And have tried to settle
it, but they refuse to except my settling amount. And I
send a personal or money order check for the amount I offer
to collection dept. and where it states memo (left hand bottom of the check) to put full and final payment. And the check is cash. Does that mean the they have excepted the settling amount and can not charge me for the remaining balance?

That's a "maybe". If the notice is clear and there's proof of a dispute over the amount, it may fly. But it's not a sure thing.
