Hmmm. Didn't really find a solution but got it sorted. After two weeks of trying to get the original application approved it got cancelled. I tried again on the night I posted here and MS said my bank had declined the transaction as it might not appear as a genuine transaction and to call my bank.
I tried again the next morning and the application went straight through so it is all a bit of a mystery. Anyway. All sorted.
