Payday loans in washington state

My wife and I have several payday loans from both storefron tand internet. Only 2 are storefront. The others are internet, they all total around $2600. Of course we got into the same mess as a lot of people. I contacted a payday loan consolodation place, but can't come up with what they want right now. we have opened a new account and can close the old one before the fee's hit and cause us more grief. Basically I want to try and handle this on my own, by closing our old bank account and trying to make small payments to all of them and get this behind us, but we do not want them to contact us at work or our references, how do we go about that, and is it ok to close the bank account. I figure as long as we are making some sort of payment, all be it by money order because there is no way I will give then my new account info, they will just deal with it, but again we can;t have these places contactin gus at work or our references, and don't want any legal action for closing our bank account.
