Switching from Scottish Power- final billl

I did get an email from Scottish Power asking for the meter reading once the switch was underway. Should I had to ignore that message? Currently Scottish Power in my final bill which will debited at the end of this month is higher than the starting amount shown on the PFP site. Or will that get adjusted in due course? 

I believe that the problem has arisen because of the OFGEM rulling re automatic £30 compensation if the final bill is delayed by more than 6 weeks. The losing supplier chase for a closing read simply so that they can raise an estimated interim final bill within the 6 weeks , then turn round and reissue the "final" bill when the validated final read arrives via the tortuous loop from the gaining supplier.
The law of unintended consequences raises its ugly head !!
