Previous Employer Overstated actual earnings

Is there any kind of complaints procedure or Ombudsman that I can approach regarding a previous employer who is refusing to engage with me?
The situation is that when I joined my previous company they gave me a relocation bonus and a signing bonus. Both of these were sizeable and were taxed by HMRC. I lasted 3 months with the company and had to pay all of the bonuses back-to include what I had paid in tax, so I am out of pocket.
They sent last years P60 and my P45 to HMRC with final earnings which included all of the bonuses and was around £19,000 more than I actually finished with due to re-paying it all. I did the honourable thing I re=paid them as soon as they asked but now they are refusing to engage with me and send a correction of earnings through to HMRC so I can reclaim the tax but also I now work a small part time job but a whole shifts pay is going on tax but I am over the tax free allowance.
I have called HR/payroll, emailed pleaded but nothing, it is like I don't exist now I am an ex employee. I am so upset and feel like giving up my part time job as it doesn't feel worth doing.
