No, sorry, should have been clearer. I was through an agency on a client site. Client decided that they no longer wanted to deal through that agency and so handed them (and therefore us) notice. Client then installed new agency and asked contractors if they'd like to stay on through new agency. I said yes.
Old agency wrote threatening legal action and seeking redress for loss of earnings. I told them to go for it and then never heard back on the matter.
6 months later they have the "perfect role" for me and are all chummy again.
I politely declined."Israel, Palestine, Cats." He Said

Probably just the agency trying to do what comes naturally and get as much money as they can out of the situation.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
