Do you have a level up waiting?
No. It will happen when I just log on.
Okay, then did you check for either of these previously mentioned conditions: "Are you in an AE arc? TF? Ouro?"
These states do NOT reset when you log off. You can log in and still be 'locked into' an arc or task force. Even if you're alone (i.e. not on a team), you might need to open your team window and see if there is a big 'Quit' button.

As I said before, it happens even when I've just logged in. As far as I know I'm not involved in any story lines etc. Not sure what TF or Ouro are though.

Both of these, and AE mode (which is another alternate version of task force mode), play havoc with all kinds of things.
Please try the bolded portion of Ironblade's post, I quoted it above.

Go to the respec contact appropriate to the side you're playing on; Jack Wolfe in Galaxy City or Arbiter Lupin in Nerva or Arbiter Sawyer in Port Oakes. (corrected, thank you)
That will allow you to use your not-dev-granted free respec.
The only kind of respecs you can use with the /respec command is the dev-granted free respec.
There is a bug in that the message at log in refers to the /respec command when it shouldn't.
*reread the problem*
Ahhh.. this is a different bug. You're actively involved in an AE mission (which is treated as a Task Force), or are in a Task Force. Since you don't know what Ouroboros is, you're probably not on a Flashback mission through the Ouroboros crystals.
In any case, YES do that; open up your Team window and see if there's a "Quit" button.

The Villain respec contact is Arbiter Lupin, who is steps away from Arbiter Frederick (the Trainer in the Nerva).
The wiki also lists Arbiter Sawyer, who is near the Pocket D entrance in PO, but I've never heard of him before. Is he new?
Yes, Arbiter Sawyer is new. I think they realized that sometimes even lower level Villains need to respec, and going to Nerva is a pain at low level.

Wouldn't it have been just as easy to put him in Mercy, to keep in line with Jack being in Galaxy? Sometimes it can be a pain/annoying getting to PO also. lol

Arbiter Sawyer isn't really new. He's been there for about a year now...lol

That shows you how much time I spend on Villains, and/or need to respec while I'm there. I'm usually only on Villains for scheduled group activities.. then again, that's usually the only time I'm anywhere these days. haha

The message doesn't say 'free'. It says you have a respec. (At least, the last time I checked this, the log-in message never distinguished between free and earned respecs.)|

If it were a free respec, then '/respec' would work to start it. Since it doesn't, it's an earned respec and you'll have to go to one of the respec contacts listed above.

Unless I'm badly misunderstanding the OP's post, he's saying it DID let him start the respec, it DID let him pick the powers, it DID let him assign slots and it only failed when he tried to finish.

Anyway, I'll have to test out the login messages for toons with and without freespecs....

I had this same problem... using a free respec, I could go through the whole process, but in the end, "Respec failed". I petitioned tech support in-game, and here's some things they told me:
A (free) /respec can fail if you happen to have any unslotted enhancements in your enhancements tray. Try clearing out your tray, then /respec again.
It can also fail if you have levelled up, but not yet visited a trainer. So, train first, then try again.
Finally, moving to a different zone can often clear up whatever's interfering with the /respec. This solved the problem for me.
Hope this helps.
