Small claims is a pain - but not too difficlut to initiate. Google the courts service.
I would advise the following:
Put everything in writing write up to the latest agreement, with all the dates etc. so it is all very clear. State that should you not recieve payment on that date you WILL take the neccessary measures to recover the dept. This is more vague but in some ways a little more threatening. You can sell your debt to debt recovery agencies and (I kid you not) they will not allow your client to default on the payment to them. The situation for her will become difficult on a number of levels - it's never good having someone come into your premises and demand money - not good for her or her staff. She's no longer dealing with you but with a company which reocovers debt as a business.
I am not saying you should sell your debt - but the threat of doing that is possibly something which she will wish to avoid.
I would not worry about the "complaining about you" - don't resort to name calling - just leave it and move on. It isn't important. What is important is that you get paid.
If it were me I would go down the small claims route not debt recovery - but do not let her know what you plan to do.
