Incorrect Direct Deposit Information on Tax Return

Amy asked a very good question in the comments of my stimulus package post:
Please post information on if you had direct deposit for your tax return but have since closed the account how do you go about removing that information and getting on the mailing list?
This is particularly important for folks waiting on the 2008 tax stimulus check since they may have heard that you can get your stimulus check faster if the IRS has your direct deposit information on file. But, what happens if your direct deposit information was input wrong, changed, or made no longer valid between the time you file and the time the IRS tries to make the deposit? The IRS will send you a check, according to Publication 17.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to change that information after you have filed.
While this may be disconcerting for some, even if such a form existed, it likely wouldn’t be processed in time to make a difference anyway. By the time they processed the form, the IRS would’ve tried direct depositing to the old account, failed, and mailed you a check anyway. Sadly, they don’t have a very fast response time on anything.

My stimulus check will be diverted (not my choice) to my student loan balance, so I won’t receive either a direct deposit or a check.
So does it matter at all what numbers I give them for direct deposit? I don’t like giving them my real account number if I’m not going to actually get anything deposited into my account, but I have to give them some direct deposit info to get the stimulus processed faster.
Considering the time value of money and the infinitesimal interest reduction in having the stimulus processed faster, I’d rathger owe a few pennies less than a few pennies more, but I think it’s stupid if I have to give them useless info.

EVEN IF YOU HAVE YOUR 2007 REFUND ON A H&R BLOCK DEBIT CARD, YOU WILL STILL RECIEVE A PAPER CHECK..
I get my taxes done at H&R block and receive a debit card. Does that mean I have to wait an extra 2 months for my refund? How will I get my rebate and when my last 2 numbers are 85

I also got my taxes done at H&R Block and they put it on a debit card. DOes this mean that I have to have a check mailed out to me? Or do they put the money back on that debit card?
I also got an h&r block emeraldcard for my ral when i did my takes. I called my local H&R Block to ask the same question about what will happen with my stimulus check and They informed me that it would be put on the card.
I also had the H&R emerald card refund, I called H&R and they informed me they believe the rebates should go into our H&R emerald cards and be considered direct deposit. I hope they are correct:)
So I recieved my 2007 tax return using direct deposit so will I also recieve the tax rebate the same way?
I had neither a tax liability nor a tax refund on my 2007 tax return computation.
Can I still get the IRS to direct deposit my economy stimulus check?
Thanks.
