This pede is dead on, whenever you interact with HR, remember they are not on your side, they are only there to save the company money. Use that knowledge to shape how you speak with them.
This is the best comment right here. I would like to add, if you have a copy of your contract, ask HR for clarification while you are holding your contact in hand. Don't ramble on either. You wanna get your info, and be out of there as fast as possible. HR hates you, remember that.
Ask HR to clarify your position in writing in light of your signed contract. Don't ask anything else and don't supply your opinion.
Ask them to supply their answer within 10 working days as you require the written confirmation to present to your legal counsel.
If your contract is as you say, HR will make the whole thing go away to avoid an issue with the court, as otherwise you might be able to sue.
