This has happened to me before at Paddington; I was refunded the minimum fare later that week without having to submit the form on the TfL website. Just remember to tap back in at the mainline station even if the barriers are open.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
