You may have a case against the temp agency either for negligence or possibly for false misrepresentation if they never bothered to inform the company if it was ok. It could be argued that once you informed them you worked there before and any other pertinent information relating to that (such whether there were any other problems when you worked there before), the temp agency then owed you a duty to insure it would be ok with the employer before you quit your job. You need to meet with an attorney to review this in more detail. One important factor may be how much money you claim you lost over this. It would have to be enough to make the case worth pursuing
