Switching energy supplier without penalty
Hello, lovely people. Just a quick question. I am desperate to switch from E.ON and my current tariff with them ends on 30 October. Is it true that am allowed to switch now without being penalised to the tune of £30 per fuel because I'm within the 49 day period prior to the tariff end date? Many thanks, in advance.
