Just a quick update. After sending a message to the proz.com site support, they removed the review from my site. According to the rules on WWA ratings, banned outsources or those with open non-payment reports are not permitted to leave WWA ratings.

I've been in this game for nearly 11 years now, and only ever had negative experiences with a handful of agencies. In all cases, I collected payment and then refused to work for them again. I wouldn't leave negative feedback on a site like this precisely for the reason that they might retaliate with negative feedback. Not that that would be a huge issue, because I don't (and don't need to) look for work through sites like this, but there is a sense in which negative feedback left purely out of spite is defamatory. An ex-colleague who wanted to get in touch with me a few years ago managed to find me through this site, and if I had unwarranted negative feedback it would have given a misrepresentative impression of my professionalism.
My advice would be to avoid giving feedback, because it's a system that let's bad customers have the last word. ▲ Collapse
