    The bill with BG from your old address will be with a debt collector if it is unpaid, I suggest you agree a repayment with them you can afford.

    As to the new property, I would suggest either going on a payment scheme or a prepay meter otherwise eventually you could be disconnected.

    If you think the bills are high, check they are to accurate readings.
