However, the bit I have emboldened is important as I don't believe that your opted status has any impact whatsoever on the client, indeed it is completely neutral as far as the client is concernced. Introducing this into the equation is another naughty lie from the agent.
I know the OP is keen on the role and I don't blame them, it's just a shame that their introduction into the commercial world has to be tainted by half educated greedy numbskulls. I would write to the client, tell them how keen I am to take the role and inform them that the agency are placing such onerous conditions upon them that makes it untenable. Move on and look for something more achieveable. Chances are the client will smack the agent into line.
My two 'penneth is that every time (and it is a few) that I have flatly refused to opt out, the agent has backed down - every time.
