The regulations are very clear and the agency can stick its fingers in its ears and scream "I'M NOT LISTENING" as much as they like, but in a court of law they will still loose.
I am going to get legal advice in the event of it going any further - as it stands I have not received anything from them in the last couple of weeks so am just expecting court papers or whatever arrives in the post in the event of it going to court.Comment

If they want under £5000 it will go to small claims court. I don't think you can claim much back when going to small claims court.Comment

If they are taking your company to court it shouldn't really affect your personal finances (that is why we run through Limited Liability Companies).
It sounds like they are trying to hold you personally responsible, rather than your company. You may want to check the wording on your contract and see if they can do this, they should not be able to.
Overall it sounds like a bit of a sham.Comment
