Eon Gas Payments - DD vs Statement Bill

Eon - removing my name from account for landlord's liability
Hi! So... basically I moved into one of x4 'all bills included' studio rooms in 2016 with a shared electric meter in the communal area supplying all 4, then found a letter addressed to 'The Occupier' in September 2024 from Eon's field debt agency requesting £4.6k.

My wife (78 years old) wants a new cooker but is unsure whether to get a new gas cooker or a new electric cooker with an induction hob, as she doesn't know if she will like it after cooking with gas for over 35 years.
