You bet on a rise at "X" per point, IG think they will fall post suspension, so they want you to cover the loss hence the margin call. They are entitled to increase their margin requirement based on their view of the direction the shareprice is likely to travel. That's why CFDs are risky - you're only exposed to your deposit at first but if the market turns against you it could prove very expensive ; obviously "expensive" is relative to the £ per pound you bet.
Hope this helps
