Get a judgment in court and then take the judgment to a collection agency.

Just write a little note saying that he still owes you such and such amount and that you are giving him 30 days to settle the debt, after that you are going to file a claim in court. That should do it.

I would give him only a week or two max, before you take him to court. I would reference the letter he signed in your letter. Also send it via mail with confirmation, so you have evidence that he received the letter. Make your letter as business-like and polite as possible to avoid make things messier than necessary.
