    Agency Not Paying Up Advice Needed

    Hi,
    I have a problem with an agency not paying.

    I decided to quit a contract a few weeks ago and rather than let me work my notice they agreed to pay me the four weeks, so i left the contract.

    Now whenever i try speak to the agency about this i am ignored.

    Have had no money and am a month out of pocket.

    Not sure what to do next.

    Any advice appreciated

    Wrong forum.

    Solicitors letter.
    Small claims court.
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    The original point and click interface by
    Smith and Wesson.

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

        The important thing here is not to **** around with these people. Assuming you have made demands then the next step is to go to the small claims court. This usually gets the ball rolling.

          You worked somewhere 4 weeks and quit ?
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            no had been there for about 4 months, and then gave one months notice, which i was entitled to do, client wasnt happy and they said they would pay me the notice.

            Got all that in an email from both the client and the agency

                  To a greater or lesser extent it depends on the contractor. Also did you get agreement from the agency in writing before withdrawing the services in lieu of notice.

                  At the end of the day you are asking an agency to pay for 4 weeks service that it has not recieved.

                  As other posters have intimated this one may need a solicitor. I would n't want to call it enough to recommend a court small claims or otherwise.
