    This does not have to be written in contract as it is already written in law.
    I must have left the thread open in the browser for a while before I made the redundant reply.

    There are regulations set out for this. As a business, I don't think the client should give a tulip if you go overdrawn - it's up to you to manage your money. The regs lay it out, beyond what may be in your contract..

    Its only right they made a mistake & they should pay any financial consequences of that.

    Agency "forgot" to pay me on time. Now when im chasing it they are like :

    Just looking through now should know more in the next hour or so.

    If it’s unpaid I’ll get it put straight through for you, have you had any charges applied to you due to late payment? If so we will obviously cover these
