Your recourse is to sue the customer for breach of contract / account stated. You are the plaintiff.  The party you are suing is the defendant.  A lawsuit can be filed in the state where the plaintiff resides or in the state where the defendant resides or where the incident giving rise to the lawsuit occurred.
For convenience purposes, you should file the lawsuit in your state.  Have a process server in the city where the defendant is located, serve the defendant.  You can find process servers under attorney services online or in the Yellow Pages.
Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would be the amount you are owed.  Upon prevailing in the case, you can also recover court costs which include the court filing fee and process server fee.
