Letter before action, then small claims court? If you feel it’s worth the hassle.

It's a big recruiting agency, i try to call them but the consultants from the agency changed the phone number, i can't contact them i send an email to hr , wich is in another city but they didn't reply in over 2 weeks.
They could retain my money because i didn't give them a notice?

Any other details you forgot to include in your first post?

They have to pay you what you are owed, but you also need to be very clear as to what holiday pay you have accrued up until the time you leave.

Yes, if you didn't give them the notice that your contract required, you might owe them more than the holiday pay they owe you.

HR at the recruitment agency or at the company you were placed with?

From the agency , he was a consultant that was working for the agency, in their office, i am not sure in what position he is working because they have manny consultants, mangers, etc.. 
they have few hundreds people at that work place that work with them temporary.
