NW suggested to me I have my contract reviewed by QDOS (I think that was what they are called?).
They found a couple of changes that needed making, agency (V-HR) were happy to do this and the contract then complied to IR35 rules according to QDOS.

The reason they are telling you not to take any money is that they want to be sure of what your company tax bill is going to be and they will be able to advise you exactly how much you can take in salary or dividend and how much you have to leave in the company account. They don't want you to spend all the company money and then have none left when it comes time to pay your PAYE/NI/VAT/CT because you will get yourself in a big load of trouble.
A word of warning though, there are special rules for loans over £5000 or loans that are still outstanding 9 months after the end of your companies tax year. Only take this loan if it's less than £5000 and it is a short term measure until you get your accounts sorted out.
If they start mumbling about tax implications of directors loans then ask them straight up, "If I take a director's loan of less than £5000 and pay it back before the end of the company tax year, is there any tax liability?". It gives them slightly more work to do but there is no reason why you shouldn't do it if you run your company properly.

Read it very carefully.
You have no idea how much you do not know. You also don't have a lot of time to find out. So come back with questions when you have a clearer idea of what you are doing.

It is very basic business and I am afraid if the concept eludes you you may indeed be better off with an Umbrella or permie land becuase is the most basic element of contracting. It is going to get a hell of a lot more complicated from here on in.
started coming direct to my bank a/c

Please advice!

What's really important is your working practices, although having a compliant contract helps.
