Sounds like the same problem I had a few years ago, we got canvassed by Northern Electric, I said I'm not bothered thanks I'm OK with British Gas, he said OK no bother will you sign here just to say that I've acted within the rules? No problem I said, a few weeks later we had a letter from British Gas saying they were sorry we are leaving
Sod this I got on the phone they said they'd received a signed letter from Northern Electric saying I'd signed for a change of supplier, I told them I'd not signed up for anything, British Gas said you'll have to change over because you've signed for it.
We got swapped over then phoned up to cancel it, it then dawned on me that I'd been duped into signing a contract, what the salesman had done was, he'd put a carbon sheet under the paper I was signing meaning that the paper I'd signed was a contract agreement under this paper. I refused to pay the bill when it came through, I got contacted by a debt recovery agency saying I owed them £200+ for a months supply of gas, I fought it and won thanks to British Gas who helped us along all the way they even offered to pay the £200 bill Northern Electric were billing us for.
These **** need running over with a big lorry, I now have signs on my door saying, we do not need Gas, Electric, religious advice, new windows soffits or fascias.
