I share your cynical view of agencies, but I have actually spoken to the client since and he really is pushing for some kind of compensation (I get the impression the agent may have exagerated it, though), although he says he has nothing against me. Problem is, another contractor from the same agency walked out after one day so he's sore about that too. Of course, that has nothing to do with me, but his contract isn't with me at the end of the day. I can see his point of view, and if they want to discount a little of the fee they charged and pass that my way I can probably accept that, but as I say my worry is that it will indeed be 100% of the amount owed (just over a grand).
As I say I have learned through this at least. Looking at the contract now (I signed too hastily, under pressure to do it asap from the agent), it seems I have no get-out under any circumstances whatsoever. I won't sign another like this, and I'll be a lot more careful from now on.
Cheers
