Sue them in court. any good lawyer can help you.
you are not near me, but i think you would do better if you hire a lawyer. good luck, and go get them.
A suit will be needed to recover money damages. If the amount is less than $15k, it can be brought in Special Civil Part where the cases tend to move relatively rapidly. Once you collect a judgment you will have to collect it from the defendants assets or wages unless the defendant pays voluntarily.
I handle matters of this type. If I can be of further help to you, call or email.
