Hi Genevive57

 

Could be?

 

Can u change your password and security questions?

Call ppal dont select any option hold on until u speak to someone asap

 

Close the page restart your computer and try logging in again

Maybe u could do a  virus scan first before trying to log in again

Let me know what happens

Could be a browser problem if you have recently been on a German website.

 

Go and clear your cache ie history / cookies etc, then re-boot and try again.

 

If not try another browser and see if it is still a problem.

MORNING,

I WILL DEFINITELY TRY YOUR ADVICE AS I DID FOLLOW THE PREVIOUS ADVICE OF CHANING MY PASSWORD AND SECURITY QUESTIONS BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM?

WEIRDLY, IT IS ONLY HAPPENING WHEN I TRY TO PURCHASE GOODS ON THE 'GROUPON' SITE?? AS I PURCHASED OTHER GOODS LAST NIGHT VIA EBAY AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

CONFUSED!!

THANKS AGAIN
