    Umbrella's will wait til paid by the agency (at least in my experience of them). Stands to reason really.... why would the brolly pay out with no money, and all they get paid is around £20/wk on average

    Hang on, you said your agent was a slow payer, but now you say you are with an umbrella, so which one is the slow payer?

    Yeah, send them an invoice for late payment penalties and interest and watch them sort their act out, pronto.

    Not sure of the correct name - perhaps invoice factoring or something?

    Basically may agency are slow so was looking for an intermediary company to pay me while the agency is chased. Not sure if this even exists.

    My advice would be that, unless you're sure you're never going to get paid or are approaching bankruptcy, leave factoring well alone. The cut they'll demand is far greater than you'd lose by chasing yourself.
