Had problems with them as well. Took 2 months to get final payment. Didn't bother even replying to emails.

They then didn't turn up for a planned meeting and then wouldn't let me see my preferred agent, who had already lined up an interesting role for me, due to their single consultant policy.
Useless! I'd rather go hungry than work through them.
