Payback old supplier

Recently changed from Atlantic E & G to Scottish power as Atlantic weren`t offering a capped rate. To cut the story short, we owe Atlantic £206 for electric. Do i have a choice of how long to pay it back or do i have to accept their 3 or 6 month payback demand. We don`t have the £34 they`re asking for. All answers appreciated.

    If the supply has left them, I don't think they have to offer you any payback period but most offer 3 months or 6 months if they are generous.
