What you do in those cases, though they can deny they received the email or read it, is to send a sort of "meeting notes" email to them, where you say something like "as agreed during our phone discussion earlier today...".

That way you create a sort of trail that a discussion took place and at least that was your understanding at the time.

Even worse if it can be proved that they received the email and read it. Because in that case if they don't reply disagreeing, you can argue that the silence was an approval of your account.

That’s why I put many Ccs and ask them to respond if they agree or not; I make sure they do. This is always never, at that time, an adversary type of thing, so people generally play ball automatically. When things go rotten then we have everything to win. This happened a few times in court.
