I am contracted via an agency, and in my contract it states that all the expenses are reimbursed by the agency to the contractor.
I am about to go on a trip and asked on the process of reimbursement, and the account manager at the agency said "but we agreed that all travel costs incurred by you are your responsibility". Then he went as far as putting the recruiter who found me, on the spot during the call and asked him what we had agreed...
Now I honestly can't remember what was agreed months back, but in my contract states that the travel expenses are paid by the agency. The agency said "this hasn't been written correctly, that's not the case" asking me aggressively "who signed this? we singed this?" and that they will send me a new contract as soon as possible.
Simple unprofessionalism? Is it worth chasing it further? I could always skip the trip, but I thought I'd be professional to the client this one time since it's already been agreed, and going forward refuse to go to trips since the expenses are not paid.
