It is easy, write a letter explaining the situation, highlight the disputed charges and write the check short that much.
It's even easier if you pay by credit card -- just dispute the whole bill with the
bank and let them sort it out. If you lose, the only cost to you is the interest
on the disputed charge. (With AmEx, this approach can be even more effective
since, for many merchants, they withhold all payments until a customer dispute
is resolved.)
