ACAS wouldn't entertain it nffc. Employees under 12 months employment don't have any rights to back them up. However, it's worth contacting them to see what they say. Give them as much detail as possible. Usually, companies will have a probationary period of 3 months to allow references to be gained. If you signed a contract of employment to that affect then it doesn't give you much hope.
ACAS
The only other advice I can give is to maybe get an hours free legal advice with a lawyer or an employment lawyer to see what they say.
You may also like to contact your local CAB to see if they can help.
What industry were you working in with this employer? I maybe able to direct you to the relevent union to gain further advice.
As stated previously, apply for every benefit available and get the advice from your local Job Centre or Job Centre Plus, but most of all keep your chin up!
Also if you can prove your old company threw that letter away, you may have legal grounds there. Again seek the advice of a lawyer, union, ACAS, Job Centre or CAB with regards to this.
