Yes if you owe them the money they can go back up to 1 year , so it doesn't matter what you put on your check it matters what they put on their 3 day notice. If they didn�t tell you that then their notice may technically be defective and provide you a temporary defense.
I would suggest talking to them and trying to work something out so you both don't end up in court.
Good luck and hope that helps.
