There is still nothing to stop you getting a lawyer to sue them - it just costs more so may not in the end be worth doing. But you don't have to tell them that, nor does it prevent you going through any of the steps I outline except the very last one of actually suing them. And you still have the option of a debt recovery company.
This agency is small and they depend on the client 100%, in other words, they don't have money to pay because the end-client hasn't pay them.
I wondered about that. So, it isn't the end-client that's experiencing massive payment problems (I'm sure they didn't put in a new system without having back-up cover arranged), it's the agency. In that case you need to act fast to get your claim recognised officially. Send that final demand immediately, and back it up with a solicitor's letter as soon as possible. Keep an eye on their company registration if you can, or get a local lawyer to do that. Again, you aren't talking of a massive expense. If/when they call in an official receiver, you will need to officially register your claim with him/her. No point in doing anything else after that point; it just becomes a matter of waiting and hoping there are some crumbs left for you. I've been in that position twice and I didn't get a cent either time
