Well, that is the travel agent's job, they are there to help you in these situations and should make it easier, not more difficult (unless we're talking about online travel agencies, and you know how that goes). Still if you are within 24 hours of travel my understanding is that the airline can take over a booking, though I'm slightly unclear when you would be travelling.
