Validate call fails with "Error reading XMLStreamReader"

[SimonChris]

When I try to validate a VAT number, the validation fails with a generic "failed to fetch" error. Looking at the network request in the browser, the response from the service is:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>Error reading XMLStreamReader.</faultstring></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

I'm having the same issue. Have you figured this out @SimonChris ?

I honestly can't remember, sorry. I ended up switching to the API from https://www.isvat.eu/.

Have no control over the xml soap service. I think they might have some problem with their service.
