If you have a written contract and are due payment file a verified copy of the contract and evidence of whatever limited payment there has been with a notarized affidavit saying that all offsets (for room and board, etc.) have been taken.
If you have no written contract, hire a civil litigator experienced in employment law to sue for payment "in quantum meruit," based on the services which you can prove you have rendered.
