I sent them a link to easyjet and told them it would be much cheaper to visit them for an interview and they agreed. I have been screwed financially by Kigezi and I would rather not be screwed by the abbey colleges if I decide to go to Charles. I have spoken to the offices at Charles and they keep directing me to the Abbey but I have spoken with a student who bypassed them. Any suggestions on how to do this???

In general (not Charles), there is a very simple way around this.
Call them directly and tell them that are not interested in paying 2000 pounds for someone else to do your paperwork. Tell them that you will be happy to make an appointment and fly to Prague to have an interview, but 200 pounds for their service is a rip-off.
Neil can probably give you more info. Also, there's a post somewhere on the forum (try searching keywords 'Charles' and 'Abbey') about this.
