Good idea to learn then, so you can check for any mistakes yourself and query it if your employer has got itwrong.
If they're saying they've overpaid you, they should explain how they've reached the sum involved. Otherwise you have no way of checking whether they're correct or not, and disputing it if you disagree.

ETA - this might be better as it has an example payslip on it to compare yours with.

A quick update...
It was the companies fault, because another worker had the same payroll number as me, and their money went in to my bank account by mistake. However, they also said the person who never got paid got a cash advance?!This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Are they clawing back gross or net? What happens to tax/NI deductions paid, are there pension deductions relating to the alleged overpayment?Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0
