They can't hold you forever to that. It's usually six months, occasionally a year. What does it say in your old contract with them?

I guess, business is business but I'd find it hard to trust he/she but in this climate you cant be fussy.

It's business, not personal - your average agent would sell their Mother!

Only you know whether or not you wish to do business with them in the future.

Last year I managed to get a direct contract with a company I had done previous work for. At the time I had already had an interview and was negotiating the terms. Previous agent pops up and tried to shaft me by claiming that they had introduced me rather than me doing the work.

I'm Just about to finish current contract and wondering if I should contact said agent as I know they are still there. Half of me says no but I don’t want to cut of my nose to spite my face. What would you do?

Do you mean agent or agencie, many agencies have gone through re-org, down-size etc. in the last year. Call them, they may not even remember you.
