After paying through remita,
I went back to fill the form but they are telling me that the payment is not verified
But I was sent an email from remita. That the payment was successful
Mark,
How long has it been since you made the payment?
Did you make the payment with your ATM or at the bank?
Have you gotten a response from Remita?
My brother, FUTO portal is so frustrating. Same with my daughter’s own, we’ve been trying since on the 1st of September,yet not working. I wonder if this is a deliberate attempt by them
Finally, thank you for this information
