Yuck! What an irresponsible person. "Hi you gave me $600 but I don't want to do anything INCONVENIENT to pay you back". Unfortunately I don't know much about what happens if you win small claims, how hard they can pressure someone to pay you back. I do think it's possible she thinks you are bluffing and using it as an excuse not to deal with you anymore. "My armchair lawyer says not to talk to you". I hope you are going to pursue the matter, as it's not a good idea to use the s-word* without being willing to follow up.
