Not All My NI Voluntary Contributions Paid Have Been Credited 10 March at 1:51PM in Pensions, annuities & retirement planning 5 replies 192 views

After much difficulty getting through I was told I would benefit from paying 8 years voluntary NI contributions for years 2014-2020. I paid by bank transfer a week ago using the 18 digit reference number I was allocated. To my surprise years 2016-2021 are already showing on my account, but not years 2014 and 2015. I'm now wondering if I should be worried about where the other two years payments have gone, or if payments beyond the 'standard' 6 years take a little longer to be credited.

Got through to Future Pensions ok, but was then on hold for 45min to NI helpline for the reuired 18 digit number. I rang after 5pm as I had been told they were working overtime to clear calls. They answered before 6pm. Maybe I was just lucky, but worth a shot.

Seems more than a coincidence that pre 2016 years haven't yet been credit but the others have.

Possibly just a more complicated process for them to be allocated?

Thats's what I'm hoping, thanks.

I paid in 6th February but my record hasn’t been updated at all. I guess there is no point calling as I’ll not get through.
