Hi Steve
Transfering the domain to another TAG is a quite a simple task for any domain company. But any company is quite within their rights to charge a Transfer Out or Transfer In fee.
123-reg charge a £4.99 +vat fee to transfer in a .uk but nothing to transfer out.
Freeparking as Idunno mentioned is Free both ways
1&1 are quite simply a pain to transfer out and for this reason ive never used them (I regged one domain with them, never again). They also charge to transfer in (as little as £1.99 per annum)
You sometimes can use simple DNS to connect your domain names to hosting. And there is no need to have the TAG changed to suit your hosting company.
So in a knut shell, you haven't been conned. You just have to be aware and like anything you learn more as you go along.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Andrew
