cooperlola Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Can anybody help please? FHI has received some correspondance from a person who lives here but works for a US company in Nigeria. They need to know how and where they pay cotis, and hence get social security and health cover. Their own French accountant hasn't got a clue, so maybe there's somebody in a similar position on here who knows which body is responsible for this and where they go to get into the system and start paying?

samdebretagne Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I have just started researching the same thing today - I sent an email to the French-American Chamber of Commerce, I'm hoping they'll have some good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks, Sam. This person is getting nowhere and needs treatment but doesn't know how to get it. Very frustrating when you want to pay and be an honest citizen (many of us know what that's like)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdebretagne Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Maybe he/she could go through a portage company? That's what I'm doing for now, until I get all of this figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boiling a frog Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Suggest that the person contacts CLEISS as going by their website they seem to have the answers for people working abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdebretagne Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I work with a bilingual portage company out of Nantes called Challenge & Co - so far, they've been nothing but extremely helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprogster Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Cooperlola,I always get very nervous when anyone mentions any business links to Nigeria. I am not saying your person is not genuine, but unfortunately Nigeria has got a deserved reputation of being where financial scams originate from on an industrial scale. Be careful!

cooperlola Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks for that Sprogster. I am providing info' only - it is then up to them what they do with it, but I am sure that this person is genuine (this is a US oil company they work for and they are UK nationals). Happily (as you know) FHI has no finances for anybody to raid, so if this is their idea, they came to the wrong place! But I honestly do not think that this is so.
