Switching from Scottish Power

Hi all
We have just switched from Scottish Power to E-on.
The SP bill and payment history shows:
10 mar payment £74 (us to them) £65.02 in credit
22 feb bill £279.69 £8.98
11 feb payment £74 (us to them) £269.71 in credit
So I was really surprised that today they took two payments from the bank, one of £33.50 and one of £65.50.
I will give them a ring in the morning, but have we missed some horrendous 'fine for leaving' or other charge? We always provided accurate meter readings on time, and never owed them money (apart from £8.98 after the feb bill lol).
E-on have taken their first payment too, so this switching thing is working out more expensive than we expected.
Thanks in advance

Did you cancel your direct debit with the bank? If you did then I would also be complaining to the bank.
Funnily enough Eon paid me a visit a couple of weeks' ago to see if I would switch when they looked at what I was paying compared to their rate they told me to stay with my provider as my provider was cheaper. Who is my provider - none other than Scottish Power. The Eon salesman told me that Scottish Power were cheaper than them.0
