I don't know if it's different in Georgia small claims court than in Virginia (it may well be), but when I sued a car dealer I needed to subpoena the people in for live testimony - in other words, I had to call the dealer as my witness and show him the contract, get him to admit that it was his, and he'd received the money, and that he'd sold the car. Then I had to call the mechanic who found that the the car hadn't been properly repaired, and so on. The judge wouldn't consider the written documents without the live witnesses because he said they were hearsay. Stay with it, I won a $15,000 judgment in my case. (Of course getting the money is a whole different story...)

Good Luck
