Wonder if anyone's got any knowledge on this?

We acquired a little company a few years ago and tried to port their main number across to our system. There were all sorts of contractual issues (apparently) and we had to pay the existing provider for a number forward.

Anyway - it's out of contract now and I wanted to port it our main provider. The existing company wants £90 to do this? They say it's in the T&Cs and they get charged so have to pass this. They have been a PITA through this process though, and my BS radar is pinging!!! I know it's only £90 but is that really a charge I need to pay?
