    Doesn't matter.

    The address is not a material factor so the rest of the contract still stands as accepted.

    Companies can move addresses or change names during contracts.

    However as the agent is thick I would see if they understand this.

      Hmmm, one for Solomon I think. Does the address invalidate the entire contract?

        Totally agree.

        What I was actually thinking, is that he believes this invalidates the contract, as he made a point that he has not accepted, the amended contract via a portal.
        I was, also, trying to point out the original signing still stands.

        Maybe, I need a little lie down

          I think you're probably right on all counts.

            What I was saying is that I have another contract with the correct address which the recruiter needs accepting.

            I do understand that I had already accepted the original contract with the wrong address. There is no financial penalty for going back on the contract.

              worth checking the contract for a probation period, just to have it up your sleeve if they don't like that you have gone for the other contract.

              I had this before as a permie where I accepted an offer, but then went for a different one. Agent wasn't very happy with me but as I was during my "probation" period where either party could give 1 weeks notice and my start date was 3 weeks ago, i just gave notice and there was nothing they could do. Agent said i'd never work for that company as a result, but 2 years later, there i was......
