    I had a similar issue by leaving my existing supplier early... There is a new ofgen rule that you can leave a supplier within 39 days before the end of the contract with no leaving penalties...
    not sure if this link works but shall try...

    Also found this from Which website...

    Some fixed tariffs will have an exit fee if you leave before your contract end date. However, with many you are free to leave at any time. Under new Ofgem rules, if you switch 42-49 days before the end of your tariff your supplier cannot charge exit fees.
