Can payday lenders press fraud charges for defauted payday loans?

You can't be charged with fraud on payday loans. They are considered bad debt. There are several payday loans online that are not licensed to lend in certain states. This is a typical threat from the lenders. They think if they threaten criminal prosecution, people will pay their rediculous charges above what you owe. Don't let them intimidate you. Set up a budget and pay what you can toward each one. You can consolidate your payday loans through Town & Country Acceptance. If you register, I will be happy to give you their information.

Can claiming overtime that had been approved but which you did not fully utilise in completing the task to the required standard be considered an example pf theft fraud at work?

If you are at work for longer than your regular hours and have been offered overtime to work longer, then if you did work longer and claimed for the actual extra time you were at work, then this is not fraud. If you claim for overtime and were not actually at work for this time, then this is fraud.

The standard of your work has nothing to do with your overtime and is a separate matter. Consider if you were not doing overtime but not completing the task to the standard required then this would be of concern to your employer, but not fraud. Fraud is a form of theft and is a crime, being bad at your job is not.

The former will involve the police and the criminal courts (and may lead to jail), the latter will involve you being sacked as a poor employee.

If fraud was report to check systems can you open a bank account after filing bankruptcy?

A bank can still report to check systems, but they can NOT report a balance. If you included the account on your bankruptcy, they must change they amount owed to a zero balance. They can put a note saying it was in a bankruptcy though.

I should think so.

While you are protected from certain actions creditors may have been otherwise been able to take to collect the debt, Bankruptcy doesn't mean your actions are unreportable or your not responsible for them. (If anything, just the opposite, almost everything becomes of record, and you are responsible to do certain things or lose the protections granted).

Nor does BK change the reporting record of things that already happened...the history you make is the one you live with.
