Not sure how we can beginnto help with so little information. Hope you delivered better than this to the client.

A slight concern is the OP is looking to be paid, just for one day.
A question to be asked, is why he was only there one day, quoted work for just the one day or...?

Situation is that they have a clause allowing them to terminate the contract with my umbrella if its less than a week. Why the contract went south was not in any way related to the quality of my work. All I got was that I made the client feel uncomfortable end client was a university.

I have never not been paid before so I am struggling to work out the situation myself.

That's unfortunate, sounds like you should chalk it up to experience and move on.

Being a good contractor isn't just about the quality of your work I'm afraid. I'm not sure how they get an insight of the quality of it in just one day though.

Universities. Full of s

I thought they were full of academics and students myself.

Good news is that now the referendum is over I am getting more work got 5 days next week. I won a 3 month contract which was cancelled in October. That is now back on and my CV is over for it.
