And for those in the UK...
...there's a similar thing you can do. If a company owes you more than about £750 then you can issue a "statutory demand", if this isn't paid in 21 days then you can get a winding up order issued on the company involved which means it has to cease trading and it doesn't matter how big the company is.
Granted, most companies pay up when they receive the statutory demand but it's a very good way of getting your money out of a company.
