Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Arizona

I had a small claims judgement against my business in 2010 for an unpaid bill that i did not contest. I paid the total bill 6 days prior to the hearing of 997.23. Apparently, the judgment was for a total of $1289.00 Here I am six years later and I get a demand letter from the plaintiff saying I still owed another $365.00 plus $205.00 in accrued interest for the past 6 years, I called the local supereior court and the judgment expired in August of 2015, and it is now march of 2016. Do I have to pay the remaining balance the plaintiff states as $630.00? If i dont can he re-file another small claim against me for the remaining balance?

If the judgement has expired and he has not renewed it, then no. If the statute of limitations has expired, then he cannot sue you again. For breach of contract in Arizona, the statute of limitations is 6 years.
