    Thanking You

    First step would to be actually find out what work you’ve supposedly been paid for but not done. Get everything explained to you really.

    They are not taking it back, they are correcting your next pay to balance it out. Was it a lot of money (why didn't you notice it and inform them at the time). If not a material amount it's not worth making an issue. As they've now told you, what's the notice from the next pay date?

    Not enough information from the OP to be fair

    Not sure. Did you do the work, and can you prove it?

    If I understand correctly, you were overpaid, and now they want their money back.

    They've told you it's coming out of next month's pay.

    You're concerned about this because you (maybe) have overspent this month and need all of next month's pay.

    If I'm roughly correct, I think you should just have a chat with the decision maker on this.

    Explain you actually need all of next month's pay, and is it possible they only take X this month, Y next month, and Z the month after, until you're square. Or something like that.
