    Wait till current supplier has had its accounts settled, ive switched numerous times, never had any problem with utility companies trying to contine to claim payments after final account has been settled.

    If you are owed money then leave them open as they will send the credit back via the direct debit

    however beware as they still took out my monthly payment as I paid my final bill over the phone (Silly Woman!!)
