Meter Readings problem

Hello,
I hope you can help.
I live in student accommodation and our meter readings for gas and electricity are kept in a separate building. The building was being used as a restaurant and has closed down since November. As a consequence, despite constant nagging to my landlady, we still haven't gained access to the readings. I have now had a bill through totalling £530 (!!!) because N power worked it out using two estimated readings alongside one another. Obviously this reading is not correct or reflective of our usage (we were away for a month over the christmas period) therefore I have been trying to contact my landlady but she STILL wont give us access to the meter readings.
What shall I do? We really can't afford the bill but the landlady is quite simply not giving us our readings.
Thanks

Insist on the landlady gets you access so you can give accurate readings0

let the supplier know - they can insist on gaining access to the meter, with a warrant if necessary. Does the landlord own both properties? It might be worth them considering moving the metersGetting fit for 2013 - Starting weight 10.1.13 88.1kg
