    ...That said any payment you make to your supplier at the VERY LEAST must meet your consumption, depending on your financial circumstances they may be able to accept as little as £3.00 per month per fuel towards any accrued outstanding balance....

    Remember as posted elsewhere your supplier aren't a debt collection agency and are not duty bound to accept any offer you suggest, but they are duty bound to treat you fairly.

    Would you think a refusal to a suggestion to pay off the £500+ owed over the next 15+ years would be unfair?

    An energy supplier would only normally allow a debt to be paid off over the period it originally accrued. (unless full disclosure of ability to pay was entered into)
