A Letter from Consumer Services for Already Evicted Tenant

Hey BP Fam,

My tenant was evicted over a month ago and the locks were changed but I received a letter from the county Cable and Consumer Services saying he wants the eviction investigated.

Quick backstory:

My tenant was evicted for being a holdover tenant and not due to payment or anything. The eviction process started May 2020 and after multiple continuances and an appeal to the Circuit Court from the General District Court, which he ultimately lost, the sheriff finally did the eviction last month. My tenant has since filed a frivolous complaint mentioned above but he does NOT even mention anywhere in his complaint that we ever went to court. 🙄🙄🙄

My question:

Does a County Cable and Consumer Services even have any authority and should I even bother responding? From what I read, their goal is to mediate/negotiate a resolution amongst parties. Why would I mediate/negotiate a closed case?

Any input is appreciated.

TIA,

Kevin
