Taff, I'd fire another email off asking how can they refund you if no record of you!!! Sounds like lame excuse on their part to me.

Should get certificate for zilch, full refund.

Oh dear. You can do it online with the GRO as well :-(

I got a next day reply from North Tyneside last week.

You should never ever pay more than £7 for any certificate. I bet you dont do that again!

Sorry, for asking....but a birth certificate costs £7 from the GRO or a local office.......

You don't have to say, obviously, but is there a reason why you had to pay so much...?

I ordered a birth cert of BMD, for £25, was told it would take 15 working days to arrive, as yet i had not recieved it!(ordered 22/4/08)
so I e-mailed them asking where it was, and hey ho they couldnt find me!!!
I have just spoken to the registrar of the district and was told this is not exactly breaking the law, but within an inch of it!
So please learn by my mistake and DONT send off for any certs,. via BMD office!!
