Missing Employers Letter for EEA citizen

Hi all,
I'm applying for British Citizenship as an EEA citizen.
As proof of living in the UK for the last 5 years a letter for Employers where I worked is required.
One of the companies doesn't reply to my emails and another one doesn't exist anymore, it was acquired by a multinational.
I've tried to send several emails but without success!
Do you've any experience with this?
If I upload all the payslip and the related bank statements, could those be enough?
Thanks in advance
P.

Do you have the P60s? If so use those. If you don't have the P60s use your payslips. Bank statements are not accepted evidence for citizenship applications. Alternatively you can request a SAR to the border office free of charge.

Hi contorted_svy,
Thank you so much for you advice.
I don't have the P60 but from the HMRC I can provide the screenshot about the "taxable income"
I hope the "taxable income" + payslips are enough
Thx

You can request HMRC to provide 5 years taxable income and tax paid, they will provide you 5 years history of your taxable income and tax paid

Screenshots from HMRC are not accepted as proof you lived in the UK.
If you have payslips from all 5 years that will be enough.

This is not accepted proof of having lived in the UK.

Actually, from the HMRC, I'm able to print out the taxed payed in each year, it's not a screen shot.
I need it because I don't have the last 2 payslips from a company where I worked and that company doesn't exist anymore
I can add the HMRC print out for the period related to the 2 missing payslips

2 missing payslips isn't a major issue if you have the rest for the 5 years. Anything printed off the HMRC website won't be proof even if it's not a screenshot.
