I work for a cabinet shop. We did some work for a lady, cabinets and a countertop. She ended up not liking the countertop that was ordered. There was a mix up with the person who took her order and her.
Anyway, she only paid part of the bill (not even half) because she was not satisfied (she just picked a price herself to pay, it didnt even cover the cabinets and labor). so I re-billed her for everything but the top, I told her I would give her the top for free. I just now got another note from her in the mail after I re-billed her for what she still owed, and she said she is not paying anymore of what she owes because she wrote paid in full in the memo part of the check and we cashed it. Is she now not responsible for paying just because she wrote paid in full on the check and we cashed it?

Technically since you accepted and cashed the check as payment in full she does not owe anymore and you may have to eat it. You may want to try and take it to small claims court. I would also suggest you check with an attorney because the law in your state may be different.

If you are hiring employees, you need an EIN number which you can get yourself in about 10 mins at IRS.gov. That's the easy part! You also need to register your business with your state so you can pay state taxes if applicable, workers compensation, unemployment taxes, etc... you can avoid some of this by hiring your employees as contractors and issuing 1099-misc. You also avoid the extra payroll calculations and expenses. I don't know what state you should go to the link below to figure out what's required in your state and how much it will cost.

Contact an attorney. Laws differ from state to state and sometimes even county to county. I don't think that it applies if it was written by her on her check. If you wrote it on your receipt that you gave to her, well thats a different story. I don't think the customer says when something is paid in full. Wouldn't that be great!
And hey...if it is true, let me know. I think I just discovered a way to get out of debt!!!!!! :o)

"Paid In Full" must be on the BACK of the check above your "deposit" information. The memo is not for you to agree to , but for the check writer to know what the check was used for.
She still has to pay her share. REbill and if she doesn't pay, send it to a collection agency

i dont think so. memo is for personal refference only, m sure you can still get your money back.
if it were like that, i would write Loan on all the checks and expect the money back
