Summons Effects

Not sure where to post this.
Had a summons arrive at my address. Name of my brother on it. Summoning him for council tax arrears. He does not live here, and he paid the tax today,£236. But not the £60 summons charge as the auto line did not request that sum. Will my credit rating be affected by allowing him to use my address, or will my unblemished record be affected in anyway?
He simply forgot to pay the council tax. From first request to summons was three weeks, no final warning. I think that's a bit harsh.

is he actually claiming that he lives at your address?

He was for a short while, it's a property he has rented out now.

as long as he's not trying to dodge any tax by giving a wrong address. But even if he was, I don't see why you should be guilty of anything just for allowing someone else to have their mail sent to your address.

Thanks Jno just did not want to have address besmirched. He has paid all tax but not the summons fee.
