Check mail, find a final EDD notice to pay for Overpayment. Where the fuck is the first notice let alone the DE 1444 allowing me to appeal it? State of California or rather the sad state of California.

All cause the company that contracted me didn't send me my final paycheck when they should have after I concluded the contract date. Instead I had to hassle them to send it to me more than a month after I was done with the job. The wages earned are from end of the contract which was before I submitted for EDD.
Therefore I shouldn't owe any penalties or overpayment from EDD right?
And this is from 2009 wtf why is it now just becoming an issue?
