a4v for N.I contributions

[Sime69]

i worked self employed a couple of years ago and havent paid all my n.i contributions, despite not working or claiming benefits in the last 20 month i keep getting a bill from inland revenue every 3 month. a final reminder came the other day for £480 threatening legal proceedings if not paid. i've just heard about a4v and noticed that the bill i got has a bank giro slip attached to it, can i use a4v on it? i've already seen the post about what hmrc say about a4v, so i presume the answer is yes.

i think its time to get the ball rolling as payment is due at end of july, someone has suggested EFT at the post office as its supposed to be easier, but i dont have a cheque book or empty account to use. we also wont get to find out if we can a4v our national insurance contributions that way so i'm willing to give it a go. any tips or advice would be most welcome.

Hi who did you address the Ni letter too as i only have the bill with no personal name , do i just put HMRC or National insurance.

I addressed mine to LYNN HOMER, they returned my prom note & BGC slip 2 month after sending it off so dont expect a quick reply
Heres the letter:

Dear Blah Blah

Thank you for your correspondance regarding the recent bill for outstanding class 2 National Insurance (NI) contributions.

Yoour NI record shows that you registered as self employed from 25 Feb 2007.

Every self employed person between scool leaving age (16) and state pension age has the legal liability to pay class 2 contributions for every week of gainful self employment.

An individual remains in self employment even if they do not work in a particular week. This means that liability to pay class 2 contributions until a person gives up self employment altogether.

Class 2 contributions have been paid up to October 2009.

The bill for £319.80 dated March 2012 has been issued for class 2 contributions due from October 2009 to 7 April 2012.

Please find returned the Promissory Note and payslip which you request we accept as payment of the bill.

Under the bills of exchange act 1882, part IV, a promissory note is an unconditional promise in writing made by one person to another signed by the maker, engaging to pay, on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time, a sum certain in money, to, or to the order of, a specified person or to bearer.

Since no payment has been recieved, contributions remain due.

I have arranged for a bill to be issued for the above amount.

Please refer to the back of the bill for the accepted methods of payment.

If you are no longer self employed please contact us at the above address or telephone number with the exact date you ceased.

Your sincerely

Mr D Wright

they returned the prom note and BGC slip on 3rd July and you can see in the letter they were going to send another bill but so far nothing.
As far as im concerned the bill is paid because i offered payment and they politely declined, so the debt is discharged, i will keep the BGC and prom note as proof payment was offered.

FUCK EM

What happens though when you reach retirement age. I thought the class 2 NI was for you to receive a pension?
This really confuses me as I also thought if you were on any benefits they paid them for you but they don't pay class 2, they pay another class of NI that goes towards credits for when you are off sick or unemployed. They have to have been paying enough for you though for you to get it in the first place. I have just signed off JSA because my husband claimed jointly but now has got a job and I won't get anything but they will pay NI credits for me. I still have to pay my own Class 2 though. Confused!!
It's not worth signing on and not to get any benefit.
