. . . So the remedy is in your own hands-it's about two minutes work to cancel a DD via online banking, once you have received a final bill.

Final bills from some suppliers can take a long time to materialise so my advice would still be to cancel the DD as soon as your new supplier has confirmed they have completed the switch or you can determine it by other means.

You don't seem to understand what a DD is then. A DD can only be cancelled by the account holder-that's you, not Spark. All they can do is cease to draw on it, but it will still remain 'live' (and potentially drawable on), and so this kind of thing can happen, whether by accident or design.
