Remember that you still have to live next door to her, threatening court action is not going to aid good neighbourly relations.

Will your insurance cover the repairs to your damp? Is there a clause in your insurance policy requiring you to keep the property in a good state of repair? The longer you leave this the worse the damp problem will be. As much as it sticks in your throat, paying out to repair the gutters yourself and then claiming the money back may be the best course of action.

But the OP's insurance will not cover repairs to her neighbour's gutters, which is where the problem originates!
The neighbour has already lost any rights to 'good neighbourly relations' by her neglect of the property and ignoring the prior request to remedy the fault (she was not even asked at that point to pay for the damage caused to the OP's property, which would have been perfectly justified).
OP, I hope you have put a time limit in your 'friendly letter', otherwise you will just lose more time if she does not act.
