Client contacted me about developing a program and an agreement was made between My client and I that the client pays 50% before i start, 50% after I finish. Payments were done through paypal. We agreed that the due date be 16 July. Now the client contacted me on July 10, giving me 3 extra weeks. July 16 came, and the client opened a dispute stating the item weren't received. The client was told that 3 extra weeks were given, but the dispute wasnt closed. The client was told that legal actions can be performed. But The client blocked me.

Your facts are not very clear. Did you actually exchange any signed agreement/ documents? Any e-mail communication that may establish your actual understanding and extension of time. Also, do share the details of any part payment you have received so that proper advise may be provided.

Where is the client based ? And did you get hire from freelancer or some similar website may be you can contact them and secondly did u never had any email conversation? What are the base of that he give extra three weeks any written etc confirmations if not in the absence of contract seems tough to get your money and secondly you fail to fulfill your obligation to complete project on time . I suggest you to meet a lawyer show some paper wrk etc then s/he can guide , if you Le client based in Europe we can help we have subsidiary office Ansh network out there and moreover going legal totally depends on amount money to recover and jurisdiction in India or abroad
