What is it?

I have been charged £5.50 on 9th February (possibly for a supposed journey a little earlier in the week) I have not travelled on public transport since Monday 5th February (bus) and I have a freedom pass.

TFL TRAVEL CH £5.60: Barclaycard arranged over the phone, without hesitation, for this debit to be reversed. Sheepishly, I explained it must be an RFID conflict with my Freedom Pass in the same wallet.

I checked at my bank account charged £25.10 on July 2nd. I have freedom pass I don’t understand why they charged it

On 24th of Nov I made 1 tube journey from Bond St to Bethnal Green using my Oyster Card around 7pm and the money was deducted on my Oyster card but TFL CH charged me £6.00. On 28th Nov I made one tube journey Liverpool St to Kings Cross on my Oyster card around midday and the money was deducted from the Oyster card. TFL CH charged me £8.90. the other journeys on those days were by bus using my old age bus pass. My Oyster card was bought from a shop some time ago and I always top it up with cash and it had £18.50 on it on 23rd Nov.

I traveled by tube from Victoria station to South Kensington using my Barclays Contactless card, I used the card to log out at South Kensington but noticed the gate had stayed open and that a green light had come on, I have noticed on my statements that a transaction is still pending when this should be cleared can you clear this up. Thank you J Bottomley
