Old employer processed a negative pay

Hi,

I left my old employer June 2024 and received my final pay in July 2024 from them along with my P45. 

However, upon recently looking through my HMRC app, I noticed that in October 2024, they processed a negative payment to HMRC. I had no knowledge of this and no idea of what, if any, implications of that were. Is this normal as well to do something like this,  3 months after my final pay?

Do they think they've over paid you?

Hi, they actually refuted they processed anything at all. I’ve sent them the screenshot from my HMRC app and awaiting a reply. Unfortunately I closed down the bank account I used to use when I worked for them so can’t check (easily) if they’ve taken anything.

Could it be a correction to a previous payment?

Or is the end result a negative?

Just to give this one an ending....basically my old employer said they had to correct the tax paid to HMRC.....I'm still suspicious about it but I don't seem to have lost any money.
