Paula,welcome to the forums. You have come to the right place. First off, what state do you live in? Are your payday loans internet or storefront? What companies? How much have you borrowed/paid back so far? If you answer these questions we will be able to help you

I believe the only way they can garnish your check is if they take you to court and get a judgment against you. I know there is something else though. Something you may have signed saying it's ok to take from your check without going to court. A vol. wage assignment. Something like that. You would have to revoke that. You would need to send them a copy of that and give a copy to your employer.
I am sure that someone will come and tell you exactly what it is. Keep checking back here.
I closed my checking account and have yet to have any money taken from my paycheck.

You can revoke a voluntary wage assignment simply by sending a letter to that effect.
Depending on the legality of the payday stores, and how far they want to take it to the next level ...
In my experience, when a debtor has made it clear to me they don't intend to pay me back, and then they revoke their wage assignment to boot, my next step is always to send it to my attorney for a lawsuit; which a lawsuit can add $4-500 to the balance.

Anytime you have 1000 or more points ($10.00 worth), you can PM Denny and ask him to cash them in for you. Let him know whether you want it sent to you by mail or if you would prefer it to be deposited to your paypal account.
