Agency Supplier Refusing to Pay - Ignoring my request for Payment.
Agencies factor the invoices so that their cashflow is covered. This means they can pay weekly, and in advance of the client paying them.
That's all well and good until the agency gets a sniff that the bill might not get paid. At that point they'll stop paying the contractor early as there is a risk they'll not get the money back (factoring companies claw back money not paid to them).
As the OP screwed up the contract and was removed from the site, the agency is not going to pay until they've been paid or are forced to pay. Going to court without giving them reasonable opportunity to pay (more than 6 weeks IMO) is not a good idea.
