The way I interpret this thread is that your company is owed money for work completed which the agency has yet to pay. You could continue to chase the agency for this money as it's owed to the company. Remember the company is a separate entity to you as an individual so it's all about the company/agency relationship here. If after 6 months, you still get nowhere, you can make the decision whether to write it off as a bad debt in the company books or continue to chase for the outstanding sales invoice amount.
The terminology of company dormant that you use is probably misunderstood. From a technical point of view, (and this has been covered many times before) is that the company is not "dormant" but actually non-trading. In the true sense, a company is classified as dormant if it has been incorporated but not traded at all. In your case, you've used the company to trade through but have decided to go down a different route so you're putting the company on ice i.e. non trading status. This does not stop you from chasing the outstanding debt or doing anything in the company. You'll still have to produce company account and a corporation tax return every year and file these with Companies House and HMRC etc.
