British Gas Fines for leaving

I heard a rumour via a BBC news source that British Gas were not going to charge any cancellation fee for leaving any of their price fix deals anymore. Anyone know if there is any truth in this rumour?

It was certainly announced on the BBC news programme I saw. At the moment it only affects those on Price Protection April 2009. PP2007 and PP2010 are still cheaper than new BG Standard Tariff, and any other currently available tariff.

so technically speaking if someone was to leave a 2010 price fix now, would they get charged?

I believe it is £30 for gas and £20 for electric. This would have been made clear at the time the offer was taken up by the customer.

Also you would be crazy to come of PP 2007 or 2010

Even if they don't waive the cancellation fee, it's very easy to get round anyway... read your t&c carefully

It was higher than that for PP2010 and reduced on a sliding scale.

£45/30 until 30/4/2008, reducing to £30/20 30/4/09 then £20/15.

I have little doubt BG would waive those charges as other gas/electricity still costs more.
