AL Tax Certificate - Ceast & desist to tax purchaser

Looking for best course for the situation in Alabama based on a 2019 tax certificate: 

1. Purchased tax certificate from AL state. Sent demand notice and called owner regarding ‘neglected-squatter ridden’ house. Owner stated they received all letters and it’s best I don’t contact them again since they let the house go in the tax sale and it’s no longer their problem. 

2. I got  a citation from the city RE: squatters, visible debris inside & out and rotten wood around entire house. I sent the citations to the owner to cure and called again.to explain these citations are linked to my name & I can’t get approved for other business matters with open city citations. The owner stated she is giving me a verbal ceast & desist for no further contact  

Questions:

a. if I have the owner served for ejection will I violate any laws with the ‘verbal’ ceast & desist given? 
b.  now with covid— are ejectment suits being acknowledged by circuit court?

c. I cured the citation to release any citations against my name- & paid current yr’s taxes.. can I get sued by the homeowner for curing the citation without an ejectment order in my favor?

d. I want to offer the homeowner a ‘’ payout to release their dealings or get a quit claim & make it easier to quiet title but again I don’t know if I should contact w/o  rubbing them the wrong way with their verbal C&D. The deed is available by next yr but what benefit is this in regards to gaining time to having exclusive possession if no ejectment is filed for possession?


many insight is appreciated
