Currently, we have a number of outstanding arrears of contributions invoices and some have a due date going back to previous financial years.

This may be because you have invoices that have not been paid as you have disputed the compound interest charge. If this is the case you should still arrange to pay the employer and where appropriate, the employee contributions and the interest dispute will be handled separately. You should be aware that failure to pay the contribution elements could delay a member’s full benefits being paid when applying for retirement benefits.
