It may be time to file suit for the payment of the loan. You have to be willing to go to trial. but sometimes the mere filing will spur a debtor to start making their payments. If you need referrals for an attorney to represent you, you may email me. But, the amount of debt is low enough that you could file a small claims case without an attorney,. You coudl also hire an attoney to help you draft your small claims petition.

Good luck
