I found it helpful to call their helpline a few months ago... but it seems to be super difficult to get through now.
You should get the information to HMRC prior to 30/09, to get the chance to settle.
If you only used the scheme for 1 month and no longer work in the UK, you may be in a much better position to bear the loan charge in 2019. To do that, you will have to fill out another self assessment for 2018/2019, and declare the loan income as a part of your income for the year. If you no longer are a UK tax payer, you may get a tiny tax bill for the year. However HMRC may go back into the tax year when you got paid through the scheme and reassess your tax for that year. In that case, any tax you paid on the loan in 2018/19 will be offset against what you owed for 2016. You may, however, be charged interest on the net amount which they may assess as due for 2016.
