The Landlord will have got the debt information from screen 27 on your gas meter. If he got a free card from paypoint it will have continued to take your weekly debt amount. The usual process is to call BG who will send a card to reset the meter and also give whatever extra amount the new tenant has paid back to them.

When calling they would be asked for a meter reading to which your account would be closed to. This of course is better if you had done it- did you? You would then be sent a final bill and then would be allowed to spread it over 3 months.
