[bluedeyedboy]

Can you name agency please. Others here may well be affected but not aware yet

The agency is called Foxglovecommunications, they're a sub agent through Randstad.

Thanks :-)

Would you know of any outfits which could do this chasing job for me?

[bluedeyedboy]

Do you have PCG+ membership?
Are you able to now go direct with the client?

I just quit the contract wanting to start my own online business, relying on some of this money as investment. But now I guess I'll have to get back in. Probably all this happens for a reason.

tulip happens, but don't think am going to waste much time trying to recover this. I'll try focus on the positives and move on....

Probably not, if they haven't yet paid, the administrators will be chasing them for that payment. After all the agency provided the agreed services (the contractor)

Yep. No reason why the client should pay anyone else.

All of the above is worth a try, but the bottom line is you'll be lucky to get any of the money. It's all part of the extra risk of contracting.

Tell ClientCo ASAP.

They might let you bill direct if they haven't paid the agency.

Do not submit any further invoices to the agency. You must break your contract by not providing services for a day. Make sure you tell the end client as part of your negotiations with them over this.

Have you submitted invoices for the previous 2 months? if so, its unlikely you get more than a few coppers if anything from them.

And to check on administration, look up the London Gazette where all administration notices are published.

1. If you are in England, ask them who the Administrator / Liquidator is.
2. Check that their Website reflects that they are in Administration / Liquidation.
3. Ask the Administrator / Liquidator for a copy of the Administration / Liquidation order.
4. If they are in Administration / Liquidation, your Company becomes a concurrent creditor - wait in line....
5. Check your contract for termination clauses and advise the Administrator / Liquidator that you are terminating your contract with the Agency.
6. If you are not working through a Limited Company, but through an Umbrella, contact your Umbrella and advise them that your Agency is in Administration / Liquidation.
7. If they are in Administration / Liquidation, then immediately check with the end-client whether they have paid your Agency for the invoices outstanding. If not, then inform them that your Agency is in Administration / Liquidation and that you are terminating your contract with the Agency. Ask whether you can go direct and if not, to advise if they have any other preferred Agencies and re-contract accordingly.

My agency just told me that they can't pay my last 2 months invoices as they're being liquidated. I'm practically on the streets now.

Please can someone advise me on how I can go about getting my money back?
