Does the contractor have a judgment against you or did the contractor just send you a letter? If the contractor sent the letter, you do not necessarily owe the amount he claims you do. If he got a judgment against you, then he will be unable to collect until you have money or assets. You might want to contact a local legal aid clinic for further assistance.
