Please remember that Florida is a non garnishment state. They can only garnish up to 25 percent and only with your written permission. If you signed any "wage assignment agreement" that is a different thing. You must revoke that. They can not take any criminal action against you under Florida law either. What payday loan company is it? Some are not licensed and can only make threats. Someone here will have experience with them and will tell you what they are all about
