Even if the check were to hit the bank today, your gf could call the bank and tell them not to pay it. It never hurts to try. I wouldn't pay them a penny if they treated me like that..........until they can provide some proof that it's yours and they have the legal right to collect on it.
Ok, so just in case the check does go through.....
Yes, you can do that. Send them a DV letter........you would have to modify it a bit (if you use one of the form letters). You would need to state something saying........I have already , in good faith, paid you $xx.xx amount per our agreement that you would consider the account settled and paid in full (btw, that's BS that they back out of a deal because it was 1 or 2 days late) and now you are requesting more........I hesitate to send you anything more until you provide proof that this alleged debt is mine.
Something along those lines.
I really hope you could just put a stop on the check because then the ball would be in your court. You can put more demands on them before you give them any money.
