If you actually wrote a check at a storefront, you could be charged with writing a bad check. If you took out an internet payday loan, you did not write a check. If you close your account, they will electronically try to debit the account until they figure out the account is closed. It won't cause you any more bounced check fees because your account is closed. I would recommend that if you close an account over payday loans, let the bank know what you're doing. They've most likely seen it before. An unpaid internet payday loan is enforceable just like any other loan. They could sue you civilly for default, but not charge you for bad checks.

Checks can bounce for more than one reason, although insufficient funds is the most common. If a stop payment order has been placed on the check, or if the account is frozen, that will also cause it to bounce.

Yes, you must maintain a balance. You cannot write checks against money that you don't have; you must have funds in the account to cover your checks or they will 'bounce', and you will be assessed charges. If you do it deliberately your problems will be a great deal worse. This doesn't mean that you are required to do the arithmetic monthly to balance the account; you can be as careful or as careless as you like. Being careless does not exempt you from the consequences.
