Is Agency Asking for Bank Statements for Gaps of 3 Months or More Unreasonable?

[SueEllen]

rubbish, Agencies usually pay to your business account and if there are payments on your private account they can still be for your partner if it's a shared account

And that was my initial point.

Looking at someone's personal bank account you cannot tell whether they were in a contract unless they used an umbrella company.

And the account to use is the one you do your supermarket shopping with as it shows you weren't in prison.

Though they will probably be puzzled if like me you visit people so end up in random supermarkets.
