Legal Answer
If you make it clear to the payor that you are not accepting the payment as being in full and give them a reasonable time to respond by objecting to your cashing the check or any part of it, you may cash it. Be sure to inform someone who has authority to act, get their name, hopefully have them sign a note saying you told them XXX on YYY. Do not just put payment in part on the check and cash it, as that is not notifying the maker of the check.
