Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

Suing for Money Owed

My girlfriend and I broke up and I asked her to move out. She's on my lease, and I told her I would pay the remainder of the lease on the condition she paid me for bills that she racked up. I was already paying a majority of our rent and her own bills in her name. Now she won't pay me the money agreed upon, is there anything I can do to get this money from a legal standpoint? She has now put me close to 3,000 dollars in debt.

Sue her in small claims court and hope the judge does not agree with her that it was a gift.
