EA fees, my deposit and my rights?

Hi folks,

Sure you've heard similar before, done a search and can't find the specific answers though.

Anyway, a few months back it was time to renew my tenancy, i had three options.

1) 12 months
2) 6 months
3) Rolling month to month basis

All of these came with a (imo) overpriced EA fee of £60, i was to chose which option, tick, sign and send them a cheque :eek:

As i did not want to pay the fee I decided if i did nothing this would put me on a statutory periodic anyway and hope i may get away without the paying the fee :cool:

As you may have guessed i have now received a letter stating if i don't cough up within 5-6 days it will just be deducted from my deposit when i leave :mad:

Do i have any rights here or is do they have me by the short and curlies? I have not received another contract or seen any new paperwork so why should i have to pay this fee? Well they won't be getting it in the next 6 days anyway that i do know.....:naughty:
