Anyone having trouble registering for the Household Charge?

    Has anyone encountered difficulty registering for the household charge? I was able to register myself no problem, but when it comes to the property I own, I get "There was an issue processing your request.". The address is a simple one (apartment in Dublin 8) and the server doesn't seem overloaded, so I don't know what the issue might be?

    I currently live abroad so can't just drop in to pay, and emailed the support addy but no reply yet.

    I have tried for the last 60 mins to register, I get as far as the address, once I fill in those details I get "there was a problem with your request", with no explanation as to what the issue is? and I have to go through the whole procedure and then I get the error again?

    Their servers can't cope with people trying to do what the site is meant to do. They will fix them, took me 2 days to be able to do it and that was weeks ago when the demand was lower that it is now. Keep trying, 5 mins here and there and it will eventually work.

    I'll let you know if I hear back from their tech support... I suppose if I can't register by the evening of the 29th, I'll try and do the paper worm and send it in by post with a cheque, it says on the website they accept those until 31st March as on-time.

    Never got a reply from the tech support people I emailed, but finally managed to finish registering and paid last night. I did it at 11pm my time, which is 5am in the morning Irish time, maybe that is why.
