All you can do if someone won't pay you for services rendered is to sue them. I can't comment on Argentinian law or whether you can sue in a court in Argentina; in the U.S., however, you would most likely have to sue in a court in the county in which they are located, so as to be sure you have jurisidiction (i.e. court power) over them. So if you can't sue in Argentina (consult an Argentinian attorney about this), you could hire a U.S. attorney in the county in which the customer company is located to bring a lawsuit.
