Ring the helpline for HMRC. They will sort it out to for you. The challenge is to be able to get through to them. Good luck.

HMRC will tell you, and eventually just send you the cheque in the mail if you don't go through their online portal to have it paid to you that way. Trying to get it through their online system is an impossible nightmare in my experience, so I've just waited for the cheque in the past...
