If this contractor has a license, contact the license board, If he or he is legit, they gave you a card with this info. Sometimes this info is bogus, they just make it up. If you know where they live you can take legal action. My guess is that this person had neither and you have no idea where they are, in which case you have been screwed by an unscrupulous person or persons, happens all the time. I have actually had contractors try to get paid for work someone else did. We are not always honest, I am though!

Alot of people don't know this, but when you want to do any house construction or remodeling, you as a home owner should sign-on with the bank as the "General Contractor"! That gives you the power of accountant and empowers you to control the checks!
You have to bring the matter up to the Commitee of the Housing Board and Sue him.

If you have evidence, that a contract was signed and money exchanged hands, you could sue him. Best to seek out the advice of a lawyer.

Depending on the amount of money either take them to small claims court or get a lawyer and sue to get your money back.

Get a good lawyer who deals with this area of law and sue him if necessary if a settlement can't be negotiated out.
Good Luck!!!
