    Well it's another Thursday morning and there's no sign of any payment in the bank. My renewal date was 5th sept. would love to know if anyone out there got backdated and what date they were at?

    That's depressing.
    My renewal is 3rd of October. I have 150 quid in my bank account to last until the 21st of December and I'll need to spend most of that on petrol just to get back and forth from work.

    But good news, On budget day, we'll probably have another cut in child benefit and another increase in USC and probably a cut in the rates of FIS and increase in Excise on petrol.
    All so we can pay over 3 billion to private bondholders in a corrupt and failed bank next march

    they said they were on the last week of August last week. I thought they were supposed to have extra resources, I thought they were supposed to be clearing the backlog.

    It has nothing to do with the letter at the end of the PPS number.They are filed and processed in numerical order.It would be impossible to use letters .

    Have been watching this thread closely. My FIS ended 22nd August + back pay was in my account this morning!

    Id say a few of the above posters who are a week after me may expect to be sorted next Thurs. Also, I don't think it's anything to do with your PPS Number - just your allotted date, that's the way they work it I think

    You are wrong,They do it in date order,which is always a Thursday and then in numerical order per PPSN.How does that not make sense?How else could it be done?

    My renewal date is 02/08 and we were told by email today it will be another 1-2 weeks. They've been telling us 1-2 weeks since 19/10. Thank God for my parents help.

    told today that they are "starting september" and that i should hear something in "the next week or two"

    that puts a probable date at 14th december

    i cannot afford to wait until then to be disappointed so im going to have to try to organise alternative funds in the meantime :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I rang there too (renewal 19th September) and spoke to a lovely fella who said that I should be sorted before Christmas. He couldn't say exactly when but that I should receive something from them in a few weeks.. Heres hoping.. I feel sorry for them, they are just doing their jobs and are probably told SFA and they have to take the brunt of everyones frustrations

    They sent the backlog to another office which won't be touching them until after Christmas. So the more recent ones are being dealt with but the backlog are being left there for now.

    Hi all. I have just phoned the FIS office (my renewal is beginning Oct) and been told that all of September and October have been sent to another office to be dealt with and there is no communication with that office. She reckoned I should have it by xmas!

    That was my understanding too. All the new applications from June to November and all the renewals up to end of September were sent off site to Letterkenny.. They are getting all the renewals up to date before Christmas and then will begin on the backlog for new applications after Christmas.

    Anything received after Nov 5th (either New or Renewal) is being dealt with straight away in the usual office. All we can do is wait.

    Yes they are, but there are hundreds of people with each renewal date. For each date the applications are processed in order of PPS number. For example if two people have a renewal date of 10th October, the one whose PPS starts with a 2 will be processed before the one whose PPS starts with an 8.

    My renewal date's 10th October and I'm clinging on to hope that it'll be through before Christmas.
