so did the landlord and so did the last tenant... the problem is that everybody lost the reading and the npower is charging the last tenant for a bill that included 2 month of my living in this house... she doesn't want to pay for it, neither i know how much i have to pay for it, any idea how to solve this problem?

Easy , if she stayed for one month, she pays 1/3 of it, and you pay the rest.

You only pay from the date you moved int other property ..
When you move into a property you should ring through all meter readings
Contact npower and fax your tenancy agreement which will show the date you moved in and they will bill you from that date
Don't get involved with the previous tenant and the landlord as this is confusing the situation

Offer to pay the bill for the two months you were living there based on how much you normally use.
That is the only fair thing I can think of.
Keep your bills for at least two years. Use them to check how much electricity you use. Sometimes a meter gets out of whack and will show that you used more electricity than you actually did use. A friend of mine had a bill come in May that was 33% higher than the same month in the previous year. He looked at the Kilowatts. 33% more! He hadn't run the furnace or the air conditioner at all that month. So he called and told them to check his meter. Guess what? The repairmen replaced his meter and told him that some of them needed to be recalibrated after awhile in use. Did he get a refund for what he didn't use? NO! So it is to your benefit to double check every month and complain if the kilowatts are considerably higher than the same month of the previous year.....

See if she has kept her bills and if so you can take the average of several of those and arrive at a pretty close ideas of what she would have used and then use that figure to determine how much of the bill is hers and how much is yours. If she doesn't have those the power company can probably give you an idea of what her normal amount was per month and arrive at an amount that both of you can agree on.
