Problems with processing your payment? 

How to resolve payment queries should the following messages appear;

"Billing County is too long (25 characters permitted), received 26 characters".

Your registration details are used when processing a payment if the registration information entered in certain fields is too long, the system is unable to process your payment.

For example the billing county for the "State of Western Australia" needs to be shorter or abbreviated to "WA" or "Western Australia"

To change any of the registration details;
   · login and go to My Account
   · select Update My Details - in the top right column
   · in the State/County field enter WA (for State of Western Australia)
   · select Save & Update
  · go to the Subscribe page, select and make your payment
