Universal credit overpayments

Fed up with trying to sort out overpayments
Which was UC fault in the first place.
All because they didn't deduct husband's wages it was not just once but four times.
Since being awarded LCWRA which was backdated from January to May. Got letter
Stating that. Am i right in thinking that any overpayment has been payed back as this is how i read this letter? But apparently not
According to UC they say they did not take out the overpayments been trying to sort this
Out for months they don't seem to answer what I have been writing on journal
I have even put in a complaint about the way
This claim has been handled but yet again it seems my complaint is being ignored.
Has anybody else had the same problem?
If so any advice would be much appreciated.

I don't see any overpayment being taken away from what they paid into your bank. All i see in this letter is they've take off the £92 which they've already paid you.
