Editorial policy
BillDecoded publishes informational guides intended to help UK consumers understand energy bills, evidence gathering and complaint routes. The editorial aim is clarity, practical value and clean problem-to-solution structure.
How pages are produced
- Each page targets a specific consumer problem or billing question.
- Pages are reviewed for clarity, duplication risk and internal linking.
- Where helpful, pages link to official Ofgem, Citizens Advice and Energy Ombudsman resources.
- Pages may be expanded, merged, redirected or removed from indexing if they become too thin or overlapping.
Accuracy principles
- Prefer practical explanations over vague generalities.
- Separate billing maths from payment-plan logic.
- State clearly when content is informational rather than legal advice.
- Review time-sensitive pages, especially those touching current price-cap context.
What readers should expect
BillDecoded pages are designed to be useful in the real complaint process: they should help a reader work out what evidence to gather, what calculation to check and what question to ask a supplier next. They are not written to replace official complaint bodies or personal legal advice.
If a page becomes too short, duplicates another intent or no longer adds enough value, it should be improved, consolidated or redirected rather than left to decay.
