I've got a contract, and invoice, and a receipt. none of that changes if it's paid via a check or a greenback... It's not like you're putting this on Amex where you can reverse the charges, it's a check. A check is as good as cash, and once the money is out of your account a check doesn't give you any more legal recourse than cash to get it back.
