The Old "Paid in Full" Scam

Following a dispute with a customer (not over the service or the amount billed), they cancelled service with me on 5/25/05. Shortly thereafter, they sent a check for the total amount owed based on invoices dated May 1, 2005. In the memo section of the check, they had written "Paid in Full". I endorsed the check and deposited it.

My concern is that, since they had two levels of service, one billed in advance, and one billed current. One of the May 1, 2005 invoices was for service provided in April, and the other was the advance billing for services for May. On June 9th, I sent an invoice for services rendered through May 25th (date of cancellation), but no invoice for the other service, which was paid.

I'm pretty sure they will argue that, since I deposited the check marked "Paid in Full", they owe me nothing. I say that they still owe me for the one account billed through May 25th.

Where do I stand on this matter?
