How do you get your money that's owed?
Here is what you do. Write a letter requesting payment. Put a deadline in the letter. Make it reasonable time frame. State in the letter you will take them to small claims court if you don't get payment. Send the letter registered mail. When they don't pay go to your local courts and file a small claims suit. They will be served, given a court date. Make sure when you go to court you take your evidence with you.

Can you take a collection agency to small claims court for not removing a paid collection account?
You can take a creditor or a listed party on a credit report to court for not removing notice on your report if, that account is paid off, seven (or ten in the event of a judgment) years has elapsed from the date of last payment, and thirty days have passed since you requested the account be pulled in writing, by registered mail. All three of these must occur before you should take any creditor or reporting agency to court. Small claims would be a waste of time considering the sizable payouts that can be recovered for unfair and fraudulent reportings.
You are going to small claims for an old debt from 4 years ago your credit report says Creditors statement Account legally paid in full for less than full balance what does this mean?
The description of the problem is not quite adequate. If the Creditor's Statement on your account shows that you legally paid in full for less than the full balance, it means that the store agreed with you that they would take a partial payment and mark the account paid in full. Stores sometimes do that when you argue that the goods were inferior, or that you might return the goods for credit. In any case, if that is marked on the creditor's statement, then your account is paid off and done. It is not clear why you would be going to small claims over something that was negotiated and paid off 4 years ago.
How can you legally repossess my belongings from roomates apartment when they refuse?
If you want the property back, you have to see an attorney. The resulting lawsuit would be one in civil court for an injunction ordering the room mate to return the property. The best (least expensive) way is to take the room mate to small clams court for the value of the property. Attorneys are not allowed in small claims, and the process is easy for everyone (think Judge Judy or The Peoples Court on TV). A link to small claims court information is provided below.
