So the first two agencies had forwarded your CV without your permission 
or discussing the role with you first ?

I trust you will be binning those two immediately.

As an employer, I would work through the first agency to send your CV 
in, easily identified by the email trail. The other two would be told 
they had sent a duplicate and not be considered eligible.

An employer shouldn't discard your CV just because it came from three 
sources. They're probably not the kind of company you want to be working 
for but perhaps a direct contact to explain would be beneficial, in 
particular if your CV was submitted without authorisation the first two 
times.

Simon.
