You can take legal action against them through a civil suit, and potentially file criminal charges, depending on the specific facts of your case.

I can't give you any additional advice without knowing more facts, such as whether there was any kind of contract, written or oral, when you paid them, how they have breached the contract, whether you have requested in writing that they follow through on their requirements, etc.

Put all demands and inquiries to them in writing, so that you have a papertrail in the event you need to take this to court.
