No, we are unable to accept payment via personal or commercial check.

Many banks now offer to customers the ability to have debit cards, which act just like credit cards but the funds are immediately drawn out of your checking account. HelpQuest.Com does accept debit cards and well as credit cards, but we do not accept checks for payment of services.
