Motion to show cause 14 years later

[mega-man]

I am in Alabama.
on june 16, 1994 I was convicted of a youthful offender act.
November 2008 I received a letter from the DA fine recovery team stating that I owed an outstaing balance of $2500 on a fine imposed on me as a juvenile.... so this notice came 14 years later...

the notice says that I had 10 days to pay the fine... of course I did not pay it. So the DA has succesfully gotten a motion to show just cause why a writ should not be issued for my arrest....

so basically I am now 32 years old with a motion to show just cause based on a sealed youthful offender act (failure to pay fine and court cost). The probation period on the charge expired on my 21st birth (11years ago) Can I defend this? I honestly never remember paying a fine or having to pay a fine for the case... it seems that if i owe a fine The DA would have filed this motion like 12 years ago... how can I defend this?
----------------------
I also posted this in juvenile since iw as a youthful offender.
I am confused. Is the DA allowed to do this 14 years later?

If you did not pay your fine, then you will be forever legally obligated to pay the fine.

My advice: contact the court to turn yourself in, and ask to set up a payment plan to pay your debt.
