<prompt> Human: I did a couple of photography jobs for a non-profit. The check in question is for 240 for 1 of those jobs. They will not issue me another check until I pay the stop payment fee. Everyone that I have checked with tells me that this is not my responsibility to pay. I know it is only 35, but I feel it will set a precedent with them if I give in. Should I pay it and get my check less 35, or demand they pay me in full? If I demand they pay me in full, how do I get them to understand that it is not my responsibility?  <response>: Tell them that if payment is not received in full by DATE, you will proceed with legal actionscollections or whatever. In this case, it is probably small claims court.
