Well, it sounds like you have already defaulted on these loans, therefore, they (the store front) can and probably will sue you. However, if it were me, I would send them a letter via USPS, certified-return receipt requested, and make a proposal for payments, I would include a good faith first payment via money order. They will probably refuse the payment plan, but, if you end up in court over this you can at least show the judge that you attempted to work this out. Criminal action is prohibited in the state of Indiana, so NO, you will NOT go to jail.
