Go and ask your employers why and and take the letters with you.

If they dont know, go to the Citizens Advice Bureau. CAB

You really shouldn't have paid the first amount of £31 if you weren't sure what it is for or believe it to be incorrect. Please telephone or write to the contact in the letter to explain your situation. If your job is and has been your only source of income since you came to the UK then there must have been some mix up.

Please don't just ignore it, if the inland revenue think you are self-employed they will chase you for a tax return too and if you ignore those you can be fined.

The amounts quoted refer to Class 2 National Insurance contributions, these normally run about 2.60 a week,

You at some stage have registered as self employed, call the national insurance Class 2 helpline, and explain the situation

0845 915 4655

If you get a tax return to complete, you must do it, this is the only way that you will get back any overpaid tax if you leave before the end of the tax year.
