    I am uncertain if you are going through an Umbrella or through your own Ltd company. If you are going through an Umbrella, then you need to chase them for payment. The contract is between the Umbrella and the agency. If you are going through your own Ltd company, then you need send them a letter via Recorded / Registered post demanding payment within an acceptable timeframe (minimum 14 days). If they don't pay up, take all your evidence and contract to a debt collector / solicitor and look to start legal proceedings.

    It's up to £7500 + VAT.

    But, if the OP isn't already a member then it may be too late (if the agency is having problems) - you need to be a member for > 60 days before you can make a claim.

    • Have a look at www.payontime.co.uk which has a handy calculator for working out the interest you are owed.
    • Add this amount to the invoice amount.
    • Present this updated invoice to the company.
    • At the same time, speak to your accountant about county court injunctions (you have to give your agency 28 days notice before you can send a county court-related warning). They should be able to sort out all the paperwork or advise you on where to go to get it done.

    Search for "late payment of debts legislation" on google.

    Issue an invoice for the fees and interest due giving 7 days to pay.

    Then sue them!

    If they are going bust, stop invoicing, talk to the client about going direct.

    The "problem" is i have an umbrella company for my invoicing and they look very reluctant as well. Can i use someone else?
