Thanks for the info Tom. 

The last time I renewed was over 10 years ago and I don't remember the login password. I tried to get a new password but as I am resident outside the US their password change page couldn't cope with my address info. 

If I would have known my question was going to start a thread with all this controversy and anger I would've just kept quiet. 

Regards 
Scott
