If you are in the UK contact ACAS. They are an advisory body and are the first port of call when you are having a dispute with your employer or ex employer. They are really good and will tell you what you can do. They will probably advise you to write a letter of complaint to your employer stating why you are aggrieved. They have to reply. If they don't they will be severely penalised by the court. I have just been through a similar thing and won much more than I was asking for because my ex employers simply ignored me.
After this you will be able to take the matter to tribunal ACAS will advise you of your time limits. GOOD LUCK and may the workers unite!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a lawyer and fast! If you have it in writing, you have a great case - with holding earnings promised. If not in writing, you'll have a fight on your hands. Either way, I'd sue for the amount owed/promised to you. As for the contacts that you made on behalf of the company? NO. I'd hold on to them. They are yanking your chain on the money, what's to say that they won't take the credit for those contacts YOU made. Save those for another company that deals with the same work types.

If you worked as an employee you can report them to the department of labor if the job is in the US. You can also file a lawsuit in small claims court if the amount they owe you is less than 3000-5000 depending on the state you're in.

first the contacts.... if you were employed then any contacts made will belong to the company. As for your money, in the UK you can take them to the small claims court to reclaim the money owed, they also have to pay the court costs, just pick a small claims pack up at any County Court, guess its a similar thing for the USA.

depends what is in writing, your contract
does the company retain ownership of contracts, if they do, it is a policy issue and they will be able to provide paper work
if it's not on paper it doesn't count..

Steal any of their property to the value of the salary owed.
