If someone shows you disrespect - if they are rude, try to push your boundaries, or are unhygienic you have the right to blacklist them. Agencies will allow you to blacklist any client you don't want to see. Yes, it means losing their business, but there are plenty of good clients out there who will treat you right. IMO no amount of money is worth your health and well-being.
A lot of agencies say they screen but really they don't. Pose as a client and see if they live up to their word.
