Sorry to hear about the crap situation you have been put in.


The simular thing happened to my partner, she was offered the job, accepted it, gave her notice, worked her notice actually left the company and was due to start the following monday when she got a letter saying that due to references the offer was withdrawn.
When she asked her former employer why they had given her a crap reference she was told that her reference was exemplary but the prospective employer had also asked about attendance. She had, had 10 weeks signed off due to fibromyalgia & TMJ and this it turns out why the offer was withdrawn.

As cerberus said, under 12 months you really dont have a leg to stand on.
Do you know why your job was withdrawn? What was in the reference and have you had any problems at the company you work for which they might want to see you go but have used another excuse as in the reference or is it a cost cutting issue that they are not forthcoming with.
Usually a company will not get rid of someone who has been working for them for 3 months unless in your last job you were dismissed for theft\fraud\violence etc IME. As after 3 months you should have shown your worth to them.
