It sounds like it would be Theft Under $1000. If you come to my office for a free consultation so I can see your paperwork, I can give you more specific advice.

Your payment might be treated as an admission of guilt for evidence purposes. On the other hand doubling the amount of damages might be extortion.
I offer a free initial consultation.
