Did you ever claim Tax Credits in the past? If so, it might be a deduction for an old Tax Credit debt which has been passed to UC. However, as woodbine says, there's no way for us to know.
Hopefully UC may be able to give you some more information next time you speak. However they often don't know, they will make directions as instructed by DWP Debt management and you may need to speak to them
