I too used Faster Pay to make Class 2 voluntary contributions in a lump sum to cover all my NIC shortfalls. The money left my bank account and all I have is a mobile banking receipt from the Banking App . I did this 27th March 2025 to make sure I didn’t miss the 5th April deadline as I was “buying back” 18 years. What happens next ? How do I see where my money has gone and that my NIC gaps are now filled? Thanks

Hi. I currently live and have lived in Canada for 22 years. I filled in form CF83 and got a letter today ( one month after filling CF83 online ) saying I can buy back 18 years of National Insurance contributions class 2. However on the “shortfall table” in the letter it says the final time limit to buy back is 5 April 2025. I thought that because of the huge interest in doing this, the phone lines are clogged, that as long as you registered your intent to buy back years, you could actually make the payment AFTER the 5th April 2025 deadline. The letter says “we cannot accept your payment if we received it after the final time limit shown in the tables” which is 5th April 2025. Is this correct ? I am going to go to my bank here in Canada tomorrow and instruct them to make a payment to the following bank account…. Can you confirm that this is correct?
