To stop paying your council tax, simply cancel your direct debit, don't enter into anything with them until they send you a reminder, then once you have a reminder send them the following letter. Do not phone always by letter or email so you have a paper trail of everything that is said.

If you are worried, you can always put the money aside, even if you just stop paying for a few months it is something.
