I have been told that if you accept a check with payment in full in the memo section that the account is paid in full. Is this correct?? Thanks.

Not exactly. Many credit card companies have it stated in their terms agreement that a check processed with the words paid in full in the memo section can not be applied to them (credit card company).

Not With Credit Card Companys.. They will cash the check, but it will not relieve you of the outstanding debt..It is in the terms of the Credit Card agreement..
