I like the idea of using a collection agency; sure, they take a big cut, but you'll get
some satisfaction one way or the other.

Although no money changed hands, I chased this guy for many weeks to do the job we had agreed to. I finally gave up and hired someone else who did a great job. Many months later, while shopping, I ran in to the son...i.e. the "new" owner. He looked emaciated and his teeth were rotting terribly. Soon thereafter all the company's trucks were no longer seen in the area. The company was out-of-business.

Well,
there's a clue where the money went!
I also agree with your other suggestion...to post his name. But I'd use his
first name only. Might as well have other contractors with the same first name working on him.
