small claims court.
Low cost to you (around 100 dollars), and will be repayed by defendant if proven wrong.
In many states, if you win, you can lean their property, such as land or vehicles if you win. Collecting the money may be difficult, as there is not anyone who enforces payment. If you lein something, they can not sell it without paying you at the time of sale.
An alternative is public humiliation. For instance, if the person that owes you money has a business, you can make people around his business aware that he is unethical. Be carefull in what you do. you can not personally attack(verbally or physically) someone, but you can state undisputable facts.
good luck

Depends on the State and depends on the situation. Did you loan the money on a written agreement or was it verbal? Do you have a record of the transaction (check, etc) or was it cash. Is there a way to prove you made the loan? In most states there is a statute of limitations on different debt collection. If you can prove a loan was made and you are within time statutes there are ways to at least get judgments/liens etc.

The best way to make sure someone pays you what they owe you is to make sure no one owes you anything. If you can't afford to give someone a monetary gift out of the goodness of your heart, then don't loan them anything. If you give them some cash as a helpful gift, make them promise to do the same for someone in the future. However, few people these days know the meaning of "honor".

Civil suit small claims court. Good luck getting them to pay. You can not garnish wages unless you take them to court again.
