It really depends on the situation. I know if i got royally screwed by my sisters, or they did something very sinister then yes i would take them to court.

Talk to your sister. You owe her money. Whatever else you may have done counts $0 toward a monetary debt unless you talked about it beforehand, or if you can agree to lower the amount you owe her now.
In any event, you are sisters - family - and whatever disagreements you have can and should be straightened out between you. I'm sorry you're mother had to have a pacemaker implanted, but she must have had other problems besides you and your sister bickering. She has undoubtedly heard you and your sister bickering over the years - siblings do that.
Do not allow money come between you now. If you must, get a second job and start paying her back. You owe it to her. Don't let this become a court case.

No one knows the situation so you aren't going to get really good advice here. Do what you have to do. I'm sure there are other sides to this problem which aren't being expressed here. This is what going to court is all about: telling the story from everybody's point of view and getting a neutral person to give a binding decision.

First that didn't cause your Mother to need a pacemaker, that's a rhythm problem with the heart so stop blaming her. If you owe her money pay it, at least 20.00 a week until your debt is paid.
