Frequently asked questions
Should I complain before I know why the bill is wrong?
It is usually better to identify the likely cause first so the complaint can ask for a specific correction.
What if several things look wrong at once?
Start with the most objective issue, usually the readings, billed period or tariff breakdown.
Do I need a complaint letter for every incorrect bill?
Not always. Sometimes a precise written correction request is enough before you escalate to a formal complaint.
