I made a "Voluntary Class 3 NI" payment via bank transfer using my 18 character reference on 9 January 2023 (7 weeks ago) to top up tax year 2020/2021. Can someone (preferably an HMRC representative) comment on how long it should currently take for the payment to be credited to my account ?

I thought I'd post my experience here in case it's useful to anyone ... my "Voluntary Class 3" payment (made on 13/1/2022) was credited to my NI record today (24/2/2022), so it took 6 weeks.

Hello HMRC Admin 19, Please can you answer the other part of Ed48's query ... what is the current backlog ? Specifically, I would like to know when my "Voluntary Class 3 for 2019/2020" payment which was paid by bank transfer on 13/1/2022 should be credited ?
