Now I've got a thing about this. OP gave notice "as allowed by the contract".
If the client doesnt want you to give notice then dont put it in the contract. No good bleating about it afterwards.
And then this throwing toys out of the cot and trying it on is just pathetic.
OP - I think opted in or out is relevant here?
If it was me, I wouldnt let this go.
It was indeed just a weeks notice either way.
Payment terms are signing off the timesheet by the following Tuesday for payment the following Friday. My beef is that he did not register any complaint or query until today, three days after he should have signed off last weeks timesheet.
I have opted out.
I will never work for a tin-pot consultancy again – only professional organisations. Lesson learnt.
Yes, I will not be letting this lie. The agent is just as frustrated – even called him a d!ck head.

Was your opt-out done correctly e.g. before you were introduced to the client?
Have you got proof you did the work? You should also have train tickets to prove you went to the client site.
If you have tell the agency in writing you have proof you did the work and they need to agree with the client to pay you as your opt-out was done incorrect. (Don't engage with the agency by phone unless you are recording it so you can make detailed notes later. )
Then have a word with Safer Collections.

Good advice - Thank you. The opt-out and contract came after I started on site. It was very rushed and badly handled.
I have already emailed over train tickets - it is incredulous, but needs be! The clients beef is I was not working the hours he wanted, but the contract only states Day, no specified hours. The agent is comfortable I have been on site for the days in question. Will check out Safer Collections. Thanks.
