Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I was incarcerated and upon release I was supposed to be sentenced to 5 years probation. 6 months after release I went if front of another judge (original one retired) with the amount of money that probation advised I needed to pay. Keep in mind while on work release money was deducted from my check every week for payment towards fines. I was told to have 5,000 dollars. I presented this to the court and the judge early termed me at that point (5yrs released in 6 mos 2009) Now 3 years later, a letter was sent to a relatives house demanding I pay 600.00 in court costs. Upon contacting the clerk they refuse to reread the case file and continue to demand this payment. Now I'm not an attorney or a judge but why would the judge release me from 5yrs in 6mos without full payment ? How do I dispute this ? I have attempted to locate the paperwork but, to no avail. I have moved twice since my release and have moved on. I do not see how 3 yrs later the clerks office can demand any type of payment on a closed case, signed by a judge. Unfortunately that judge is no longer a judge and a new judge whom I've never been in front of is now listed. Any ideas ???? Thank you
