I also was dumb enough to let her use my store credit card, to which she hasnt paid up for months, and i cant make the payments for her, i dont have the money for it.
I know i can call and get that in control by setting up payments with the financial corp, but can i do this and add it into the contract too?

and can i add interest of anything if i wanted?
The difficulty is going to come in when you ask her to sign something AFTER you lent the money. If she hasn't paid, you can bet she isn't going to sign something agreeing TO pay and allowing you legal recourse if she does not.

You are trying to close the barn door after the horse is gone.

You can try, but I don't think she is going to sign anything. If not, take her to small claims court and sue BEFORE your credit is ruined. Send her a registered letter, informing her she has thirty days to pay and that after that time you will sue. And do it.
