Okay so I quit my last job at the end of February and moved to a new city.
I start my new job on May 8th, immediately after moving to my new city I signed up to the Nenkin and Health insurance at the local public office.
I received the slips for paying for them both on the 17th of this month, I went down to the public office to confirm with them which ones I have to pay as my new job will be taking over the process of the payments and moving me to company insurance from 5/8.
iVisit called today from 0570550987 and said that I haven’t payed my nenkin yet.
I have payment slips proving it, yet when I told the lady on the phone that I had already payed it at the public office she just hung up on me.
I’m going to go to the public office later today and talk to them but I’m a little confused as to what’s going on.
Anybody got some insight?
I’ve noticed that the name on my nenkin in Katakana is different to how it’s normally written but my public office explained that they can’t use small katakana in there system, could this affect it?

There’s lag in the system and the information they’ve been given is never up to date. Just tell them you paid.
It took them like 6 months to stop sending me bills in the mail after I changed jobs.
Did you check your payments online?
Every few years I get a letter telling me I haven’t paid for <insert stupid number of years here>. It’s just I’m paying to a different pension system. Always have to phone them up and tell them to fuck off. Their book keeping is just shit, that’s all.
I occasionally get those calls too from a different number. I have shakai hoken, so my pension is already paid. I just ignore it for now.
Get help from your local International Association. That is what they’re around for. Look helpless and purely innocent, and apologize for the trouble with a “I know it has to be done.”
