Default about to be fired by my temp ageny for their screw up??? LONG

I am about to be fired by my temp agency from a new job I just started last month.

The setup: I was hired last month to a temp position with a company I really enjoy working for and am doing well at the job but I have had many problems with the temp agency I am working for.

Problem 1: While doing a background check on me they were unable to verify payroll at my last position due to a clerical error on that company's part. When they threatened to pull me off the assignment for this reason I had to threaten to file a wrongfull termination claim before they actually did some investigating and got the info they needed.

Problem 2 : they screwed up my address in payroll they put my correct street adress but put the city of where i last worked not where I live so my paychecks have been roaming around New Jersey going to non-existant adresses again due to no fault of my own.

When i called to correct this problem the payroll company they use told me they cannot correct the problem because the info I was giving them does not match what the temp agency gave them.

I have waited almost 4 weeks for a paycheck when I am supposed to be paid weekly.

I had to borrow $$$ from friends and family toget back back and forth to work plus I am late paying my rent and have burned up all minutes on my cell phone fixing these problems.

They finally correct the addy and decide they are going to overnight me the paychecks I am owed.

Without consulting me they sent the checks out overnight UPS which of course does me no good unless someone is actually there to sign for them. So I told the company I am temping at the situation on Monday night and they said they understoood and that they have no problem with me missing tuesday since I cannot borrow any more $$$ to get back and forth plus I need to pay my landlord the rent. At this point I have gotten so frustrated with the temp agency i don't even bothering returning their calls when they leave me messages ( I cannot answer the calls directly b/c i burned all my minutes trying to resolve these problems in the 1st place)

Soooo today I get to work and have a few free minutes before work and I check my messages from the temp agency. One of them is from my contact there telling me not to come to work today but to call her instead. So I call her immeadiately and she asks if I am at work> I tell her yes and she asks me to call her on her cell when I get off from work tonight because she doesn't want to talk to me while I am "on the clock" I tell her I don't actually start for another 1/2 hour and we can talk now if she wants. She says "no I would rather talk to you while you are not onsite" So obviously this temp agency is planning on firing me because I was not able to show up for work one day because THEY NEVER PAID ME!!!!!

I get along very well with all the managers here and they all understand the situation I was in and I feel they would like me to stay on.

My question is wat is my play here before I leave work for the day? Should I go to the one manager I inte4viewed with and see if they will hire me directly? I don't want to lose this job b/c I really like it and desperately need the $$$$

OOT to the rescue!!!!
