I'm a college student. The stipulation she agreed on stated that she would pay $100/wk and pay the remainding balance off with her tax income. Technically, she paid off the amount we agreed upon originally. Because of her default she really owes more. I have evidence.

I am wondering on why you are hellbent about prosecuting because of a LETTER (that may or may not exist)....
She is not withholding "vital information" from you because it is only a letter. If Small Claims is stating that she sent a letter, why not ask them for a copy? She can say whatever she pleases as long as you have documentation of what she owes. Additionally, you stated that her judgment states that she would pay the remainder of the balance when she received her income tax. If she hasn't received it yet, you can't demand payment until she defaults.
You don't need money to obtain an attorney. You can contact a local law school. They usually have clinics with student lawyers that can handle yout case for free. You can also contact pro bono legal sevices. You should check with the SGA at your school. You may be able to get legal representation for free. I know that my undergrad provided us with legal services and it was included in our tuition. You need to speak with someone face-to-face because I feel as if I am missing something.
