Contract price doubled.

I have had a Rental and Maintenance contract with company since 1994. The last Annual Invoice More than doubled in price. When challenged I was told by the accounts department that the Directors had met and set the new price as it was a lost leader. I requested a copy of the contract agreement but they said their records didn't go that far
back. I wrote to the M D but didn't even get an acknowledgement. Buyer beware!
