Contract offer retracted, after signing contract. No notice or payments provided!
I am pleased to say that I have reached a settlement with the agency (cheque now clearing). It had taken all these months and a solicitors and debt collection lawyers. Nearly had to go to court.

After all however, they admitted that they wil NOT...- Freedom

Legal protection insurance - please recommend
I phoned them and was UNpleasantly surprised. They could not clarify what they would cover because they wanted me to pay them first, and they are secretive.

Contract offer retracted, after signing contract. No notice or payments provided!

At the time I signed the contract, I had completed the most stringent compiance and checking process. They knew all about my Tier 1 visa.

I am a contractor working via my own limited company. I had signed a contract via IT recruitment agency to work for 6 months at a financial firm for hundreds of pounds/day +VAT. The client company had "retracted" the offer, AFTER getting my signed agreement with the agency in place. They said it...- Freedom
