AskRose is a HMRC-registered tax agent which works tirelessly to help the UK State Pensioners check if they could potentially be due an increase to their State Pension payments after years of underpayments due to missing information on their National Insurance records and HRP credits.
As we continue to support those affected, we’re also looking to expand our own team to meet this incredible demand for help and guidance: we’re looking for a Payments Collection Officer to join our growing in-house team based in Altrincham, Manchester.
