-"How does libel relate to putting up a bad review about an experience with a company you hired for instance? Could you potentially get in trouble for that?"
No, not if you have ALL the facts are stated, air tight and without interpretation. But they could say you damaged them and that the comments were incorrect just by saying that they didn't pay because you didn't do something exactly as expected or a payment deadline was not clear, etc. etc.
So if all the facts are straight, you would be fine, but if not, in the legal world, truth really belongs to the best lawyer. But again, would either side go through any litigation for $300??
As I said before, put a lien on their business for the amount. Liens are surprisingly easy to do and can cause really annoyances to them. Listen, if your contractor can put a lien on your home because you didn't pay your reno bill, or your mechanic can put one on your car for not paying the mechanic bills or you can even put one on your neighbor for not paying their half of a fence mutually built on a property line, you can lien these guys I am sure.
