While creditors have a right to challenge a bankruptcy, the grounds to do so are very limited and the court fee is $293. I have never had a payday lender challenge a bankruptcy.

Many of these rather shady operators, especially the ones who advertise on TV to go to such and such website, are offshore and hard to get addresses for. Nonetheless, in most jursdictions around the country, if you have a "no asset" case, the debt wil be discharged even if you cannot properly notice them. You should speak with an attorney near you about your situation and whether thses debts will be discharged.
