Mandy, if you do a search and its successful, freebmd then says something like, "Have you found the event, what to do now ............. " It then goes on about what you will find on a cert and then says to order a cert from GRO click here and there is a link.

Thanks, Heather. I had a quick look and couldn't find a link there - you learn something new every day lol!

Freebmd can direct you to GRO Mandy.

The GRO currently has a message that Worldpay is making some updates for 8 hours or something - I guess this is to sort out the problem

Hi Ann

I've nudged up my thread about this. The problem is apparently with Worldpay, not with the GRO. I'm not sure that you can order certs via FreeBMD?

Hi Ann,

I seem to recall an earlier thread drawing attention to this. GRO are offering refunds. I'll see if I can locate the thread for you.

Check your bank accounts if you have bought certificates through this site, you may have been charged twice.
Bought 2 certs on the 23/01/08 and have been charged twice 24th and 26th.
