As you don't have a written contract of employment, you might as well just forget about it (seeing as the dispute is about one weeks pay).
The only way I can see that you can claim that you are entitled, is if it is a case of constructive dismissal i.e. your employer wronged you in such a way that your only option was to resign.

Also see here:
http://www.adviceguide.org.uk[....]nt/contracts_of_employment.htm
Just because you dont have anything in writing doesnt mean that you dont have a contract. By agreeing to work for the company and the company agreeing to employ you., you have entered into a legally binding contract.
Taken from the CAB website:
How much notice is an employer entitled to
The notice you should give your employer before resigning should be in the contract. If your contract does not say how much notice you must give your employer then, if you have worked for one month or more, the minimum notice you should give is one week. If you have worked for less than one month, the notice period should be reasonable. See under heading 'Reasonable' notice.
In England, Wales and Scotland, in most circumstances, if your employer wants to dismiss you, they must follow proper dismissal and disciplinary procedures, laid down by law. For more information about the procedures your employer must follow when they want to dismiss you, see What you need to know, Dealing with grievances, dismissal and disciplinary action at work.
If your contract says you must give your employer more notice than this, you must give the amount of notice in your contract. Your contract may set out how much you must give, whether it must be written, and/or when you should give it.
If an employer withholds money owed because you gave incorrect notice
If you leave your job without giving proper notice, your employer may try to withhold part or all of the money owed to you. In general, employers are not legally entitled to withhold money owed.
If this happens, you should consult an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau. To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by email, click on nearest CAB.
For more information in England, Wales and Scotland about your rights when your employer withholds money owed to you, see Employer withholds your pay in Employment fact sheets.
