I have settled with a particularly difficult vendor before - got no joy with the complaints about service and failed product...
So I paid them.. every thing I owed them... in 100 or so cheques - in very odd amounts varying from 50 cents to about $1.50 or so -
I like to think the very odd numbers like 1.24 and 97c and 74c and 1.33 ect made for a real hassle in the accounting department
