unplug your cable modem and router. plug the router back in and make sure the firmware up to date and in the firmware setting turn off pin request and other features. if he doing a ping attack the router wont ackonalge the pings and slow down. with the cable modem unpluged then power back on it should switch your ip from the hacker if not call your isp and ask for securety not the level one support tech and file a complanit. they can if the hacker using there network block him.
Wait until he is tired of paying for the dos service. First if he is stupid enough and does it from his house you get his ip and he gets arrested eventually. Still it generally is not possible to do dos from your house. Only stupid script kiddies think you can actually do a DoS attack from your house. The upload bandwidth on almost all internet connection is much less than the download bandwidth of the person you are attacking. You will exceed the upload bandwidth way before you kill the download on your target. All you accomplish is DoS on yourself because you have used all the upload bandwidth.
There really is no way for a home user to stop a determined individual. If he is will to use his credit card to attack you you pretty much need to wait until he runs out of money. The ISP can not do much when huge corporations are attacked so its not like they are going to do anything for a home user. A true DDoS comes from many thousands of different ip and appears as valid traffic to most ISP.
Almost all other forms of attack against you do not apply unless you are really stupid and run your machine in DMZ mode. Pretty much the lack of port forwarding prevents the vast majority of attacks other than brute force sending of too much traffic.
