Underpaid tax 2007-2008

in Cutting tax
I have been contacted by HMRC to say I need to do a Self Assessment form for 2007-2008. I contacted them and they said they think my employer used the wrong tax code for the year so I underpaid.
In June 2008 I was made redundant and was paid a redundancy package, I made a claim as some of it was taxed too highly and was evenutally paid a rebate in 2009.
How can they now say I underpaid in 2007-2008 if they paid me a rebate in 2009? I did say this to them and the response was "yeah well, sometimes we overpay rebates". I just don't understand how they can have "reviewed my tax position" in 2009 and come up with a rebate, with an underpayment ignored from the previous year now coming to light?
Any advice appreciated.
Apologies if this has come up before (I'd be surprised if it hasn't) but couldn't find it on a search.

Because you asked them to specifically look at a problem in 08-09?
If they've now asked you to do SA for 07-08 ....... have you not already had an informal assessment (P800) for that year?If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0
