Could I Go To Jail??!!!

[tougaloo69]

What is the name of your state? Mississippi

What are the check wiritng laws for Mississippi? Here goes, I have been writing checks (on a closed account) with a payday loan company. I did at one point have an account with a bank but I recently closed it about 4 months ago. The thing is, the payday loan company lets me continue to write checks on this account. They deposited this check and it came back NSF (as expected). Can anyone tell me what happens now? What should I do? I will definitely pay the business, but should I contact any additional offices?
