Part of doing business is sticking to the contract. maybe overreacting a tad but will give benefit of doubt. Never been paid late in 17 years contacting through an agent or direct.

Remain calm and ask the agency to advise (as you have done). It's a one-off so don't get on your high horse, even if you feel tempted/justified. Be cool and business like.
One contract I had, the client was signing time sheets 10 days late or more. I got on my high horse and later wished I hadn't. If I had been cool (despite feeling outraged), the agency would have sorted it.Comment
