Historic energy bills

We changed our supplier back in October 2021 from Bristol energy to another supplier who the went bust in December but Monday we received a bill from Bristol saying we owe them £1440 even though we was paying monthly by direct debt and gave monthly meter readings, how can they suddenly come after us for more money 6 months later

    On face value this sounds like your DD was not meeting your actual costs.

    Go back into your Bristol Energy bills and look at that bottom line -  were you in credit or debit.?

    What was your annual consumption in £ not KWh and what was your DD please /

    Suppliers can go back 6 years.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
