All seems in order, the transaction I want to process is listed as "Unconfirmed Parent"
Details attached as well
Not ure what the next step is to process this transction
https://blockchain.info/address/16W3griN8nV39V2UfJm39zkSBFQ4ReJRFu

you have 2 unconfirmed transactions, the first has a very low fee of ~11 sat/byte, you used the change from this unconfirmed, low fee, transaction to create a new transaction (also having a very low fee of ~15 sat/byte).

You can solve this problem by submitting the parent transaction (11 sat/byte) to viabtc's txaccelerator (like i told you in my previous post)... wait untill viabtc puts your tx in a block and succesfully mines it, then re-broadcast the child transaction (15 sat/byte). Once it's rebroadcasted, also add it to viabtc's txaccelerator.

This procedure will probably take several hours, but it has a *reasonable* chance of succeeding, since both your fees were > 10 sat/byte (which is the minimum fee to get accepted by viabtc).

Thanks
I do have the wallet and the private keys.
Do I just download electrum and import in there?

Create new/restore, standard wallet, use public or private keys and in that new box paste all the keys (one / line). Of course, you should do this in a safe and offline environment, to make sure keyloggers and other malware don't steal your keys.

And in preferences should be the fee setting. If you are unsure, ask when you get there.

I closed my client and when I reopened it, a new wallet was shown with no transactions.
Any idea what's going on here. Completely lost

I tried to open a wallet backup and now it says "The error message was 'null'"

When I've seen this thread I rushed to warn you about this, but I may be late now.
Multibit is buggy. If you manage to open a copy of your wallet I urge you export the private key(s) and import into Electrum. When you regain with this method the control on your funds, you can do transactions again. And you will also have options to set the amount for tx fee.

Just reset the blockchain and now the transaction list accurately reflects the amount sent and proper fee.
Will wait a while and see if the coins go through now

glad you got it fixed, however, your old multibit did pick a fee of < 15 sat/byte, while at the time of writing a fee of 510 sat/byte would be recommanded if you wanted to have a 95% chance of getting into one of the next 3 blocks (source: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/)

You can be lucky and see your transaction end up in a block in several hours/days, but don't be supprised if it stays in the node's mempool untill they decide to drop it...

I'd personally recommend to use the viabtc txaccelerator: https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ (read their full FAQ/TOS before using them, or you will probably won't be able to submit your tx due to the fact they only accept a certain amount of tx's per hour)

I sent some bitcoins to my wallet (Multibit V 0.5.18), then tried to send them to an exchange but they just get stuck and never arrive for over a day now
Here is the transaction which reports it correctly
https://blockchain.info/tx/503809ddfaff3ed9b970f8de835f39de297658622f94793c5abd364cbce8fd0c

However When I click on the transaction in Multibit it shows the correct amount sent but with a fee of 0.44355

I have since read that Mutlibit has been discontinued
Any advice on how to retrieve the coins and transfer to another wallet.
