Moving house while owing money to EON

I recently got my first electric bill from EON after being at this address for 9 months, I had phoned them repeatedly about it and got nowhere. The bill was for £600. I couldnt pay in one go so they said they wanted to fit a prepayment meter. I now pay £10 a week towards my debt.
Im moving house this weekend and my new house is supplied by Scottish Power. However EDF are the cheapest supplier in my area, so I can I just sign up with them? I know I cant change from EON at my current house as I owe them money but I dont have to stay with them if I move to a house they dont supply do I?

When you move into the new property you'll have to tell SP who you are. You will be able to switch supplier but as this takes about 4-6 weeks typically, you'll be a SP customer until then.
As for EON, give them at least 48 hours notice you are leaving the property. You also will need to provide them with a final meter reading and a forwarding address so as to create and send you your final bill."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
