The problem is that even when the model gets the statement, the agency can unfortunately lie about what the rate was for the job, and it's considered ridiculous for a model to want a record from each client of how much the gross amount for the job was. Agencies can as well just write down whatever expenses they please on the statement and you have no way of knowing if it's warranted or not. For someone like Karmen, her jobs can easily add up to way more than 400 000 so I don't doubt her estimate. (I'm not sure if that's what they're claiming happened; it could just be that NEXT refuses to pay up because they feel they were fired undeservingly. It can be hell to get paid by an agency once you leave.)
