You should have read your contract or if you didn't have one made sure you got a copy of it.

The whole contract stank. Was told i HAD to use the umbrella company they wanted me to, and then it turned out I was actually a temp and could not claim back sustinence and travel expenses. The Umbrella company was effectively just the payroll department. When I found out this, the english team didn't return my calls or emails and it was impossible trying to make any sense from the Polish team who were the main administrators on teh "contract".

Have I just been shafted?

Yes.

That's what happens when you don't read contracts and question clauses you don't understand.
