You need a lawyer. I have seen a lot of this kind of bad action by people who owe money.
I can help you with this. Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. I have answered based upon the law of the State of New Jersey where I practice; the laws in other states may be very different, and may result in very different outcomes. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the response I gave. You can not rely upon what I have written as legal advice, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. To get legal advice that you can rely on and use, please contact me directly.
The real answer depends on the type of contract (if at all) you have with your client. The mere fact that you have access to his server and can put such a message does not necessarily give you the right to do so even if the customer owes you money.
I recommend that you consult with an attorney who is well versed in technology who will also be able to help you address the question and collect the debt. Feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience.
