    HSBC Direct is free for life, it is aimed at people that mainly do electronic transfers, pay by card etc rather than counter services but you can pay in up to 5 cheques a month for free

    Are you in America by any chance?
    In UK it's "cheques" not "checks".
    Also, is there any difference between ",," ",,," ",,,,"?

    Re your question, I don't understand what you mean. If the business account is closed you cannot deposit cheques written on the name of the business. Either open a new business account or ask the clients to reissue the cheques to a different payee.
