a verbal agreement, although more difficult to prove, has a legal standing just as significant as a written one.

it will depend on what you promised to do.

No it won't, because whatever you undertook to do was going to be in exchange for payment. You can't be forced to perform a contract (other than a land transaction) even if you've been paid - the remedy for that would be to pay the money back.

Well done for taking control of the situation - there are too many rogue customers, and her friends will already know her as someone who changes her mind and manipulates people. If they don't then you don't them as customers anyway.

If she goes out of her way to sling mud more publicly, she would expose herself to a charge of defamation.

If you're concerned, write a letter to explain the situation; this will give her the opportunity to put her point of view.
