Defaulting on a payday loan in Texas

I live in the state of Texas.

I took out a payday loan on September 18, 2007 with Cash Stop, a storefront company.

The loan was for $500.00 and a payoff amount of $603.97.

This may not be important, but they had me give them 3 different checks: 1 for $100.00, 1 for $250.00, and 1 for $253.97. I don't remember their exact explanation for this, but I do remember they said it was to protect me...???

As of 10/15/08, I have paid them $1353.85.

I just can't pay this anymore. My payment was due yesterday, 11/19/08, and I did not go in and pay it.

They are already calling and stressing that their lender is not a member of CFSA??, and that they will press charges.

I closed the bank account that the checks were written on several months ago, because I had to default on several other payday loans. But I kept paying on this one for some reason.

I do not want a lawsuit on my hands, but I'm not going to pay them another dime if I don't have to.

What can you tell me about Cash Stop, and what would you advise me to do?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
