It doesn't matter if the work isn't finsihed. You didn't turn in unfinished work, it went unfinished because of this issue. So it doesn't matter in this case.
You should find a demand letter somewhere & change it up to work for you, then send it to him.
If that doesn't work, try to take it to court on your terms, if that proves to be to hard then go to a collection agency.
Collection agencies suck. They take large % of your money. They can get it done, but not always when you want it to get done, especially if you are a small client to the agency. $10K can be a lot to you but to an agency that handles clients with $250K & up, you are small time. So try to do it on your own before you ask those chumps to do it for you.
Goodluck. This sucks. When he said he wasn't going to pay, what did you say? I would have laughed & said, "I agree, but you signed our contract & now you must pay." That would have made things weird for him & he would have reacted with some lame comment & from that point on, you would have been able to take legal action right away with no question. When it comes to money & 80% of your work being done, you need to step up & say something. If it were a client trying to low ball you then you could just walk away. But you did the work, next time have some damn balls!!!!! You should have followed him home or just followed him. He punked you in this case. You should have punked his ass back.
Again. Goodluck. Sorry this happened to you.
word!
