Hi,
I'm a Ltd company contractor/director and been working for a Client through the Agency for bit more than 6 months. When all the corona virus thing kicked off the job closed down. I've been always paid for last 6 months, but the last payment did not came, so I've chased it up and it appeared that Client didn't sign my timesheet (online) and agency need to have a timesheet signed in order to pay me. The reason Client didn't sign the timesheet is because Client saying that I've broke some equipment that I was working with (the equipment is in a full working order, but Client is saying because there's some cosmetic damage to it, they will be charged by the rental company and it will cost £1000, because they had similar issue before and it cost them £1000). But Client doesn't have any evidence that I've broke it I've never sign any papers that I'm responsible for the equipment and they don't even send the equipment back to off rent it. So it's not inspected, but they want to charge £1000 from my timesheet. Agency is doing nothing and they are saying that they can't do anything.
So this situation is still up in the air for 3 weeks now and I've received an e-mail from the Client and Agency responsible people attached to the email. Client is saying that I've deleted some folders from their shared server, because I had access to the server. Because of this they now saying that they not going to pay about £6000 to the agency that they still owing.
I haven't done such a thing and I know that Client is telling lies just to avoid paying money and that is just ridiculous, because it seems that they just can make any stuff out and I can't do anything about it...
The payment I'm missing from Agency is £1500, but they need to get timesheet signed by Client first and Client is making up stuff and not going to do that. And as well Client is accusing me with serious offences and I know that they are telling lies. So what can I do? Now it's not only about money it's personal and I don't want to let them get out of this easy.
