A good start would be to consult with a lawyer who specializes in commercial litigation matters. It appears that you may have a contract dispute. Most lawyers would begin the process by sending a demand letter to the party who allegedly failed to make the promised payment. Sometimes this will spawn a response and some negotiations, sometimes not. If not, you will need to make a decision on whether you wish to file suit against the offending party. Of course, the case would likely hinge on the agreement -- was there actually an enforceable contract on which to sue. Those are difficult legal questions (if there is not a clear written contract). Hope that helps.
