Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I loaned a former girlfriend (who I considered still a friend) $2000 in September of 2009. She said that she would pay the money back to me before Christmas. Well, about 2 weeks later I received a check for $500...so I thought we were in good shape. Each month I would text or call her asking for some more money to repay the debt. I received alot of different "excuses" such as "my bank had a security protection plan on my account so I could not transfer money to you" to "I will give you the money out of my Christmas money that I will receive from my parents." Needless to say, I have only received $850 since that first check back in September of 2009. The total paid is $1350 and the amount still owed is $650. Now it has been about 2 months and I cannot get her to respond to an email, a phone call or a text. Do I have any recourse?
