Re: non payment for services rendered
Your cause of action would be for breach of contract. The best you get is the benefit of the bargain. That is you were to be paid $500 that is all you could recover.
If you could recover treble damages for non payment of services rendered the attorneys of Pennsylvania would be all over it.
If your claim is for less than $8000 you are in District Magistrate Court.
