Presumably the bank has your check on some sort of scanned image storage, so it can be seen from the print-out about your accord & satisfaction notation.
I think in a previous message I had emphasized that this notation must be clearly readible in order to have any legal weight.
It may be more important to mention that writing that sort of thing on a check does not force the creditor to accept partial payment as an alternative to no payment at all. You could write that note on the check you send him, and then he could cross out your note and add his own, and then deposit or cash the check for its face amount ... and you would still owe him the rest. His notation would say something like "Payment on Account" or "Under Protest" or "Without Prejudice" -- and that would defeat your attempt to whittle down the total amount owed; see UCC sec 1-207.
