Your only option is to sue him: that's how you get money owed to you but not paid. If he contracted with you to do a service for him in your home state, you can sue in an IN court: by going to an IN company to do something in IN, he created a sufficient contact, connection, or "nexus" with IN as to grant IN courts jurisdiction, or power, over him.
