Once you file a bankruptcy, they are not allowed to do anything to collect from you, including cashing the check. But be sure they have notice of the bankruptcy.

It is risky business to try to rely on a payday lender to act with integrity. I always contact the bank and cancel payment of any check or debit authorization. Changing banks is often a good solution as well.

No they are not. They have to obtain relief from the automatic stay before they can take any action to collect.
