You need to find out the status of the case you filed from the court. If you didn't pay all of the filing fees, the court probably dismissed the case. If it was dismissed, you are going to have to start over and refile.

If the case is still on the docket, you should be able to continue where you left off. Did you have a fee waiver? If you paid you initial filing fees, I don't know which fees would remain unpaid.
