Left company without full and final settlement

I got a job in insurance company and they made me sign a contract of 3 years without informing me. It was also my fault for signing the document without reading it. I left that company after 2-3 months without notice for better prospect. This was in 2012. Since then I have received letters from company to settle full and final payment. I had to pay 6000 rs to settle the claim. Last week I received a letter from the company saying I have to pay 31000 (6000+25000 legal charges) or they will start legal proceedings against me. Please advice what should be done in this matter.

you are bound by the contract. Negotiate with the Company for amicable settlement.

I have not received any previous communication from company as I had shifted to a new address. I am willing to make payment of 6000. Am I bound to pay for legal charges?
