If I have a payday loan that i could not pay, is it now considered a hot check?
The debt collector has said that if I don’t pay the balance in full that a warrant will be issued for my arrest. They have also have asked my mother if she would like to file charges against me for listing her as a reference. Is any of this legal?

From what you have written, the third party calling you about the pay day loan that you have not repaid has violated your state's laws on unfair debt collection practices by threatening you the way you were threatened. I suggest that you consult with an attorney experienced in consumer law to assist you in your matter.
The pay day loan matter that you have written about is not considered a "hot check" under the laws of all states in this country.
