Bit of a weird one! But check your bank account to see if the funds have been taken? Apparently on my account the order is still showing as processing and the funds haven’t been taken from my bank yet which I think is why the issue is happening?

    I doubt this. It's a problem with the files.

      flux88121Can you please explain why you doubt marknkara's solution? or are you doubting something else and maybe I took it out of context and if that is the case, I apologize.

        Because the files on your computer have nothing to do with whether your payment has been processed or not. 

        If the issue was with payment, the error wouldn't be about corruption.
