Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

A judgement was rendered already and Company is trying to sue again for same thi

I did a hold check for a product (which is also consider a postdated check) and I was not paying the hold check off fast enough. The company decided to take me to court over that hold check and was rendered a judgement (I am making a very long story short). They attempted to send it to the prosecutors office as a bad check but the office was very familiar with this company and how the conducted shady buisness, So with my receipts and my pattern of making payments the prosecutors deemed that it was not a bad check. Yes, I still owe the money and I never denied that but I did deny the fact that it was a bad check and I proved that in court/prosecutors office. My question is why would my motion to quash be denied because the case was dismissed? Can I sue the company for defamation of credit/character for the second suit? I have not paid the debt off at this time but I will. Yet, this does not give the company the right to just sue me at will for the exact same thing in hopes I will be scared enough to pay faster. What can I do? I do not understand how my motion was dismissed when the second suit should have never been filed. Please help. Thank you

I assume this concerns a "payday loan" type arrangement? If so, please contact me at 888-717-7575 and I will be happy to discuss the matter with you.

These companies are very shady, to use your word, and may be the target of a nationwide class action. So please feel free to contact me at the number above.
