Does my ex emplyer have any right to restrict me from joining a competitor if I dont have a non comp

Does my ex employer have any right to restrict me from joining a competitor if I dont have a non compete clause? I have a signed NDA that I plan to honor but no non-compete. I received a letter from their lawyer stating that I have a continuing contractual and common law obligation to refrain from disclosure and that if I join a competitor I will inevitably use or disclose valuable confidential and proprietary info.
They are demanding info on the company I plan to join and are threatening appropriate legal action, including injunctive relief. Can you help?
