To file a small claims suit in Sumter County for $100 to $500 would cost $80. I had an experience with a small claim in Escambia County (Pensacola) a few years ago, and the judgement will put a lien on the defendant's property. If they don't pay, then they'll never be able to sell the property with a clear title until the cloud is removed. There is a letter called 'satisfaction of judgement' that has to be filed with the clerk to remove the cloud.
