What Do I Do About This Notice?

I need some help. Back in January I was going through a rough time. My cat had cancer and I was trying to take care of her. It made me almost late to work one day so I was speeding a little bit to get there. I got pulled over and they let me off with a warning. Location: Morgantown, WV

I moved here to Morgantown in 2022. I transferred that car to Morgantown plates and because of that they also managed my registration for me I’m not sure how that worked. I bought a new car in 2024 and was completely unaware that unlike PA WV does not send me something in the mail to renew my registration. When I got pulled over the cop told me my registration expired in august 2025. I was like oh I didn’t even realize I never got a notice. He told me to renew it and call a number on the warning ticket he gave me. I immediately requested my affidavit so I could get my registration renewed which took a little bit of time. I called the number twice but I didn’t get any call back on it after leaving messages. So I renewed my registration and figured okay that was that.

Well I got a letter in the mail today saying “warrant and license suspension warning notice” from this stop. They claim I failed to show up in court from this and that my license will get suspended if I don’t turn in my plea??? What the f***?

I need to get this handled asap. Do I go to the Morgantown magistrate for things like this? I don’t even know where to go to talk to someone about it. Why did this happen? Please help me and thank you.

Edit: reading over the letter again it is giving me a choice to pay the fine online. It says to do so in 45 days and if I don’t respond then my license will be suspended. If I do this do they drop the case? The fine is for me not responding to the citation it seems. Do I even still need to prove I renewed my registration though?
