Voluntary NI Contributions – What to Expect After Requesting a Callback

ManderLists said:I finally managed to talk to someone at HMRC and they said that basically I can't pay in installments because it has to be completed within 31 days. I guess I must be on an extension, as you say, because I originally tried to call back in February IIRC.
So now I have my 18 digit code and I just have to pull the trigger, but now I'm feeling slightly paranoid that I somehow managed to get through to a scammer. Just nerves from paying out pretty much all of my savings in one go I guess.0 -
Anyone still waiting for a callback? I had a text on 4th June saying they’d try to call twice, and one missed call (technically two at identical times 🤷♂️) on 9th June. No voicemail, no other texts, nothing since then, no other numbers given to call them back - the ones I tried to call anyway were dead lines.1

NI TOP UP CONTRIBUTIONS
Is anybody still waiting for their callback? I received one call saying I was in the queue and that they’d text me so I could get details ready. I’m still waiting for them to call me back to take my money…! Just worrying I’ve been missed or is there a very long wait? Thanks.0 -
I got a text on June 6th, saying they would attempt to call twice within 7 days (although it sounded like it would be just to confirm NI number). No missed calls in that time and nothing since. I called DWP last week and they said there were still 170 thousand people they needed to call so just to wait...it will take at lease into September and probably later.0

Got initial call 5 weeks ago having applied for callback back in April. Not received second detailed call back yet.
Judging by comments above it could still be a long wait...
Made the mistake of giving them a landline rather than mobile number. Does anybody know if the second call comes from a withheld or the official number?
Missed a call yesterday and no idea if it was them...0
