Error Code: TAX_PERIOD_NOT_ENDED

Question

I have tried several times today to submit my VAT return to HMRC. After spending a couple of hours on the phone to HMRC thinking I have to register again for MTD then realising you just have to click 'next' to logon to HMRC and grant authority. 
 Finally past that bit the submission keeps failing with the following error code: TAX_PERIOD_NOT_ENDED 
 Does anyone have any answers? I have tried ending the Period and have even tried changing the program date but still get the same error code every time!
