Re: Any reason to delay payments

"It took the lot I was with Agency > Umbrella 8 weeks to pay the first payment."

Not this lot, but, that happened with the crowd I was with earlier, and then the agency folded, and along with it the 2 months due from the time I was with the umbrella, and the month before that due to the changeover to IR35, the amount was outstanding from the agency.

I doubt I'll even see even a few pennies in the pound once the liquidator finishes charging their fees into the frozen bank accounts of the agency. This was at the start of the first lockdown/IR35 deadline (which actually got postponed, but the client forced the switch - and the client - "nothing to do with us", in terms of any liabilities - and it's a BIG company - and no government help either
