More details to this question:
I own a trucking company and was not paid by a broker. I had been patient with them and due to life's circumstances sort of forgot about the invoice. I recently contacted the company and I'm still getting the run around. This happened 10/16/2013, is it to late to file a small claims.

You don't indicate exactly what type of contract was invovled here, but the Georgia statute of limitations for breach of a written contract is 6 years from breach; for breach of an oral contract, 4 years. If this was a contract for the sale of goods it would be governed by the UCC statute of limitations which is 4 years from breach.
