Eon Next have suddenly dug up some supposed unpaid sum from years ago. Apart from the fact that it's not correct, it is illegal according to last week's Money Box on Radio 4. I am waiting in for a phone call, please call me now.

Best AnswerAfternoon @BethM There is a very interesting and informative article on the BBC News website from the 14th of February that could be of assistance.

I'm sure energy companies just send out these old bills in the hope that the ill informed will just pay them.
From the OFGEM page liked by @WizzyWigg above, :-
You cannot be charged for energy used more than 12 months ago if:
- you have not had an accurate bill for it before, even though you asked for one
- you have not been informed about any charges due via a statement of account before
- your Direct Debit amount was previously set too low to cover any charges due
so contact them and say you are not liable and get the bill withdrawn.

Hello, thank you. I have had a phone call this morning. As long as the unexpected direct debit is cancelled as promised, and my account is put straight again I am happy.
Will give it a couple of weeks to make sure that the next dd is correct.
