ISA Contributions When Transferring From Fixed Rate Account

Hi
Bit of advice for something I think I already know then answer to, so apologies for the question. I opened a fixed rate ISA in April and contributed a small amount owing to my own misunderstanding as to the time frame I was able to contribute. I am now left with an underused ISA. Could I transfer it out to another ISA and complete the year's allowance? I suspect not.

Yes you could but the Fixed rate isa you would be leaving will have a penalty clause for early closure.
However if you have not got much in there it might not be very much.0 -
