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.
