Help Requested

I've been following this site and wading through the tons of info, but I thought maybe I'd start my own thread so that I could make sure I know where I stand with things.
I've been in the payday loan trap for months now. I filed Chapter 7 a few months ago, but I was so tapped out I had to continue to take out more loans. I thought I was on top of them until I realized that my upcoming paycheck would be totally lost (and then some) to the PDL fees, so I talked with my bank's branch manager and asked her to hard close the account while I tried to figure out a workable solution.
So here's my damage -
Zip19 - $599 ($500 + $99 interest)
OneClickCash - $520 ($400 + $120 interest)
Spotya - $230 ($200 + $30 interest)
Check N Go - $895.12 ($775 + $120.12 interest)
I live in Illinois.
Thanks for any guidance you guys can give.

Actually, nothing yet. I had been rolling over and paying off for months, so these more new ones to keep me afloat. It was only after the dust settled when I realized how bad it had gotten. Like everyone, I'm totally mortified over this.
did you pay anything at all in their so called fees yet?

There is a required cooling off period in Illinois after 45 days, do you do a new loan immediately or do they make you wait out the coolong off period? Also, the max finance charge is 15.50 per hundred, so Zip19 - $599 ($500 + $99 interest) and OneClickCash - $520 ($400 + $120 interest) are overcharging.
