Also, keep documentation of all contact you have with her (emails, phone calls, etc). You might want to, in a nice way, let her know that if she doesn't start paying per your agreement that you will have no other option than to take her to court. That might get her attention. If not, and it's a large sum of money then I would say, go forward with small claims court. We all make mistakes, don't be hard on yourself. It's live and learn~ this thing called life. Good luck to you! Don’t get nasty with her, it’ll only make you look bad when you do go to small claims court. Also, keep documentation of all contact you have with her (emails, phone calls, etc).

I believe most states you have something like 4 years to sue her for the debt. Small claims court will probably cost you about 50 dollars or so to file the complaint but you can get that back when you win a judgement against her. Once you get the judgement, you can use it to garnish her wages/intercept her tax return. Make sure to warn her that if she doesnt start paying, she will end up having to pay court costs, interest and maybe even lawyer fees if you end up going to a lawyer to have them do this work for you when garnishing her wages. Also let her know a judgement on her credit report will hurt her credit score really bad. Dont worry, we have all loaned money to friends and we all learn this lesson the hard way. For me it was a $1,000 lesson (that i never got back) Yes as long as the statute of limitations isnt up. I believe most states you have something like 4 years to sue her for the debt.
