Find EIN or SSN for 1099 Contractor

[Taylor Jennings]

Being a newb, I spent around $32000 with a contractor who I never got an EIN from in 2014.

The company name he used was actually under somebody else's name and in December it was dissolved...

The contractor screwed me big time and made off with about $15k worth of work never being done. I didn't want to file suit but I figured the IRS would be enough to make him think twice about screwing somebody over when he gets hit with a 1099.

I need some help in figuring out how to get his EIN or SSN or how I can hit him with the 1099.
