Aren't checks a US thing? In some countries it can be impractical to even cash out a check.

It's a pity that their supplied information is wrong, is there other way?

They have a somewhat involved way of accepting credit/debit card (involves you mailing or faxing bills or something, IIRC), and I think they also take money orders & cashier's checks. But personal check seemed the easiest method for me, all in all.
