Happened to me too, last year. Allegedly, the client (local authority) had several jobs out that were very similar and I had been put forward for one with agency a and had applied for another through agency b, not knowing they were for the same client. Agency b then told me that I had already been put forward for the job. A quick call to agency a revealed that the client allegedly were happy to receive applications for both roles from the same people and agency a had automatically put me forward, along with other people. It was a right mess in the end and I ended up with nothing.
