I adjusted my email signature after a year to read ‘Senior Customer Service Advisor’ then six months later brought up the fact that I was the only Senior Customer Service advisor so surely it would make sense that I got paid more than the fresh meat in the call centre was getting paid.

Got myself an extra 50p on the hour. Yeeeeeah boi.

Surely your email signature wasn't the company's source for what your actual job title was?

to be fair it was my performance that warranted the pay rise, but I did lead with the job title xD

Idk, that's the sort of thing that just might work. If your hrs person is newer, or people just saw the title and accepted it was true... they wouldn't even think to double check against other records and if they really believed they might even update/correct other records for being out of date.
