Obviously, the first thing to do is confirm if the check is still O/S or cleared. If it has been paid to the state, problem over.
If it has not cleared, place a formal stop payment on it and obtain a copy of the SP order.
Send a nice registered letter to the court with a copy of the SP order. Also send a new check for the original amount due. Explain what happened.
Ask nicely if they can accept the payment and drop the new charges.
Be nice and see if they will be nice too.
