Disappointing news for Adri. She has made well over 30 years of contributions and because the authorities would not recognise ten years of those because the company she worked for during that time is now defunct (even though she has all the paperwork to prove it), she had to hire a specialist lawyer on a no win, no fee basis, recommended to her by colleagues. They couldn't fix the problem either, not to mention the fact that the authorities have 'lost' a lot of contribution information/data.
One way to fix it is to enter into a contribution payment deal, but she is refused entry into this because she is deemed as socially and economically wealthy. They know this by how much one spends on the credit card. They know everything about you.
On the other hand, you would be eligible for the scheme if you were seen to be below a certain level, almost on the poverty line and have several children. You know where this is going don't you?
In fact, for every child you have, it counts as one year deducted from the amount of years of contributions, so if you have ten kids you would only have to pay 20 years of contributions.
We are determined to fight this injustice and are taking steps to do just that, the details of which would would not be suitable to write in this post.
