Trouble with telecom company

Any thoughts any one?

I took over a buisness a few years ago and kept the same telecom company (the goodwill kept, company name changed) I never signed or saw a contract and just paid the bills with out any problems.

6 years later they say I am out of a secured contract and are trying to bully me into signing one in my name with a 36 month notice period which i am not happy with.

If I dont they will suspend my tel No (that happened today) and assign it to someone else. Or they will go down the route that I am in a implied contract and bill me if I try to change companies (which is what i want to do now because of their behaviour) for leaving without notice (2k plus).

Any suggestions?

    Two thoughts, ask them to provide a copy of their contract with them in which these terms are laid out.

    The other is to consult a solicitor ...
