  1. Don't know if anyone can help with this! I rented my flat to a tenant in 2013. He didn't pay his council tax. Every few months the council would send me a bill for council tax after which I would send them all the documentation (tenancy agreements etc.) showing that I was not the person liable for the tax. They would then put the liability back in the tenants name. This once went so far as to me receiving a summons which was withdrawn on producing the required documents. In November I received another demand. I phoned the council and sent in the requested documents. However, I then received a summons. I phoned again, they said the summons was sent in error and there was no further action (this is recorded on the council file) and a confirmation of withdrawl would be sent to me. I am busy - I forgot about it until the day of the summons and phoned them to ask where my confirmation of summons withdrawl was. I was told they had no record of any of my calls – I ran to the magistrates court to the hearing. At the magistrates court I met the council prosecutor before the hearing, produced all my documents, after which she agreed to withdraw the summons and said I didn’t need to attend the hearing. Two weeks later I received a liability order. The prosecutor continued with the hearing after I had left the court. I have written to the court to have the Liability order set aside but after a month I have heard nothing. No phone numbers let you speak to anyone..... What are my options / way forward?
