    They are legal in some states, like Virginia.

    If you don't pay they sue you and get a judgement which will lead to a garnishment.

    I am sure there are legal and illegal ones like in any businenss.

    And it depends on the terms.
    If they merely loan you the money, they will sue you, and get a garnishment,

    Many will have you sign a form to allow them to garnish wihtout going though courts.

    In others they have you write them a check for repayment, so if it bounces they press criminal charges if you don't pay it
