Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Connecticut

I have a business in Illinois and I have a customer in CT, who refuses to pay an invoice that is over a year old. This customer has been good with their payments until now. We have sent emails and called numerous times. I have a couple emails from the customer (including a phone conversation) telling me the economy hit the business hard, but she would start making partial payments. I even offered an option to discount the amount due if she paid by credit card. (I know there are fees from that, but at this point, I would rather get 80% of my money than nothing at all.) The amount due is a little less than $3500. so threatening to take her to court would cost me even more money. Any suggestions?

Connecticut Small Claims Court is simply awful. I would offer an installment payment plan in an amount that you can live with and maybe they could pay ($350 a month maybe).

I would file a small claims case against her. You can claim up to $5000.00 plus the costs to file.
