Economy energy - thieving lot - I need advice please. Heeelp please
Options
Hi,
I was with Economy Energy until 01/9/2018 and they owed me £50 (£25 for gas and £25 for electricity). Finally after 2 months I got money back thanks to Energy Ombudsman. Today I have received an email from Economy Energy saying that I owe them over £400 for gas as they review last year period! I am not surprised by this email because this is exactly what people wrote on Trustpilot reviews that the company does. Obviously I am not planning on paying but what if they sent it to debt recovery company and start knocking on my door. Would they acept letters of correspondence with Ombudsman as a proof that I do not owe them anything? Economy Energy are absolute robbers and people there should be jailed. What is your view on my situation please? It is Christmas time, instead of enjoying it I am dreading what is going to happen.
By the way it looks like company is on the brink of collapse:

Please help me with some advice how to protect myself.
Thanks
