Claiming back pension from umbrella company

Im_broke

Hi,hope someone can help.
Was working through an agency, who in turn were using an umbrella company to pay me.
I was enrolled into the pension and spent about 8weeks with before I changed umbrella company because they were deducting employees national insurance from me.
I am now trying to claim back my pension money from them as they never paid this money into my pension.
Is there any authority that I can approach to help me claim this back?
Thanks

They were correctly deducting employee's NI from you - you were an employee of the umbrella company.

Before trying to claim back your pension money, why not get TPAS to help you ensure that your employee contributions are paid into your pension and the umbrella company's employer contributions are also paid to your pension scheme, assuming you were entitled to these?

Unless of course he was over SPA in which case he didn't need to pay them.

Possibly a simple conversation with the umbrella company would have resolved the issue?

Had many simple conversations with the umbrella company but they are dragging their heels hence the need to go a step further.
By the way original post should have read employers NI as well as employees NI
Thx
