Free Garden Catalogs

should i pay the "free" catalog fee? conned!?

I was casually flicking through the Next catalog at the front of the shop when a customer service woman wanderd over to me asking if i'd like to sign up to have the Next catalogs deliverd to my house. i said no thanks -mainly coz my friend has got one and i can just see hers. she continued to chat to me and tried to persuade me to sign up but i insisted on "no thanks". she said it was all free,and id be entered into a free prize draw etc and id only be charged the £3.50 catalogs fee if i orderd anything. eventually after feeling quite sorry for the womans persistance i agreed, and verbally handed over my name+address on the grounds that it was free. ... so ive had the catalog a few months and havent orderd anything. yesterday , i got a bill/invoice asking for the £3.50, due by april 17th! i know its only £3.50, but i feel conned! if i ring up and moan , what rights willl i have? i never got the chance to see any small print!
