The thread now doesn't make sense.

I know what the thread is about because I saw the initial post, however there will be some people who can give you more specific advice on the issue who won't have saw it.

If you don't want to go into specifics then change your first post to a more generic one where you don't mention the guy's name or company number - it's not that hard.

I think it makes sense now, can you help with a debt collection?

i was thinking whether i can catch hold of end cleint and put some pressure on consultants to pay me. I feel agenccy might listen to client, because they are the end point for them.

Does anyone have anything to say about it?

Wait... so you were working through an agency, and not directly for the client?

In that case the agency HAS to pay you as per the contract (assuming you had one). Didn't you get the client to sign timesheets?

Or am I misunderstanding the situation?

[mrdonuts]

even if the client doesnt sign the timesheets you should still be paid by the agency as there are now regulations in place to cover this, and if they dont pay sue them

Either:
1. Start court proceedings yourself OR
2. Get a help from a legal debt collector

The search facility (which you should use will) list the pros and cons of each method as this topic has been covered many times before.

That's true if you didn't (legitimately) opt out from the agency regulations.

If this is through an agency (and I haven't a clue, since the thread doesn't make any sense now!), then you need to deal with the agency and get them to pay you. Talking to the client is going to get nowhere - they don't care what your relationship with the agency is like.

If this is a problem with the client and you are direct, then you need to deal with the client and chase them for the debt.

If you have followed the guidelines on payontime.co.uk, then the last resort is that you will need to file a court case. If they still don't pay, then you can look to winding up orders and things like that.
