I am in the State of CA:
Is it true that if you send a debtor a check for payment of any amount on a debt you have and are responsible to pay back, and they cash it, that means they accepted your terms and must accept that amount each month until debt is paid in full?
Also, If they do cash your checks each month, can they still take you to small claims court because they want a bigger payment each month or will small claims tell the debtor that the party is paying in good faith and you accepted the checks and so it's not a good fight?
