Agent suddenly changed the rate

[kevpuk]

Suspended for only 3 months! I am surprised the client didn't bin the agency all together, its not as if there is a shortage of recruitment sweat shops these days

Indeed....although I think the suspension is whilst they investigate any additional instances the Agency has been involved with, so could well end up getting binned.
When I actually spoke to the Client, and subsequently started on-site, they were incredulous at what the Agent had been up to and really grateful that I had contacted them. I was their preferred candidate and what they were hearing from the Agency did not stack up......they just wanted me on-site asap. I had a couple of grovelling apologies from the head honcho at the Agency, and Client arranged my transfer to their primary (PSL) agency in place of the clowns - 3 weeks into gig, and loving it; hard to stomach that this could never have happened because of the original Agency's ethics, approach and lies!
