Overpayment of JSA

I am in receipt of JSA at the basic rate. I was informed over the weekend that I had been overpaid and that it would be reclaimed at the rate of £9.90 per week. When I telephoned to find out about it (the letter giving no information at all!) I was told that I had been overpaid JSA in 2002 and that they were now claiming it back. To the best of my knowledge I never registered as unemployed or claimed JSA in 2002 as I was in full time work. The person I spoke to on the phone said that they had written to me (I have moved around a lot in the past few years) but could give me no other information. The local jobcentre can call up no record of this claim. Surely they have to provide me with some evidence of this claim? I was also told that that I cannot appeal it as the appeal period has elapsed. What can I do?
