If your PO won't remedy this, you must turn yourself into the court, to seek withdrawal of the warrant. Get an attorney if you don't understand the process and how to defend yourself against a professional prosecutor trying to put you in jail. You risk return to jail and fines, so handle it right. Your attorney's job is to try to prevent it from going 'on' as a conviction. If this is in SoCal, and you're serious about hiring counsel to help you, feel free to contact me.
