This is quite an unusual notation and according to immigration protocol, with any kind of ban you should have been provided with the appropriate paperwork. From your narration, this was not the case. Either that or you did not understand what the immigration officer said concerning the supposed ban.
Furthermore the immigration rules and guidance for bans does not mention a permanent ban in your context namely i.e. illegal work or breaching a condition attached to their leave.
You can complain or ask for clarification using the email [email protected] which can be found on the UK Visas and Immigration Complaints Procedure webpage. They will clarify if the officer banned you (because it will be in their records) or went contrary to protocol etc.
They take complaints seriously. I lodged a complaint with UK Border Force and it was handled very professionally and promptly and in my favor.
