You have a number of options. You can file a bankruptcy to avoid the debt. You can let the contractor take you to court on a collection suit, breach of contract claim. you can wait and see what the contractor does. He may end up getting a judgment against you and attaching a lien to your house. You can probably negotiate with the contractor for another agreement provided you can make consistent good faith payments.
Why don't you just call him and work it out.
