B Gas moved supplier on fixed tariff

I am on a fixed tariff for gas and electricity with BG until May 23.  I received an email yesterday (13/9) advising that my energy moved to my new supplier on 11/9 - but I have not requested a switch!  Why would I when I'm on a fixed tariff until next year?
I have received nothing from my "new supplier" (EON according to BG) and I'm now awaiting a call back from "sales complaints" to sort it out.  
Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and whether it's an attempt to get out of fixed tariffs?
Thanks

    No - this isn't a conspiracy.

    Much more likely to be a !!!!!!-up.

    No, it is just an erroneous transfer, they happen when someone gets the MPAN/MPRN wrong on a switch and the wrong customer gets moved.
    Ask BG to treat this as an erroneous transfer and they should sort it all out for you.

  • Thanks for calming my fears.  Its a shame they don't tell you until 2 days after "the switch"

    Switches happen so quickly now that it all catches up with them.
