Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Iowa

My sister loaned me money almost 2 yrs ago, over $2,600. She has threatened to take me to court, and I have tried to pay her back almost half of what I owe her, and she won't take it. There isn't any written paper as to when I'd pay it back, it was just a verbal agreement. Is there anything I can do to show I am trying to pay her back, but she won't accept it? She will only speak to me thru text messages on the phone, she won't actually talk to me. I don't have a job, I'm a stay at home wife.

She can take you to court but what would she gain? The court could order that you make payments. If she won't accept the money put it in a bank account and pay her off in full when you have it.
