Yeah dont waste your time with a CV writing service, they're mosty crap and will fleece you out of a few hundred quid. I've seen a few people with exactly the same CV format, identical and worded slightly differently to fit their job title and skills.
You're far better off doing it yourself, or as others have said ask a friendly agent (we do exist) to have a quick look at the CV and give it the once over.

Ask a couple of agents for their feedback as they are also first reviewers in the application process. That's what I do when I need feedback, and it costs nothing.
