If I’m understanding this correctly, agency B has asked agency A for a reference for you and agency A hasn’t given them one ?As far as I’m aware employers are not legally obliged to give a reference so there’s nothing you can do about it, I could be wrong though
Youre not wrong
References: workers’ rights
An employer doesn’t usually have to give a work reference - but if they do, it must be fair and accurate. Workers may be able to challenge a reference they think is unfair or misleading.
Employers must give a reference if:there was a written agreement to do so
they’re in a regulated industry, like financial services
If they give a reference it:must be fair and accurate - and can include details about workers’ performance and if they were sacked
can be brief - such as job title, salary and when the worker was employed
