As title reads I accidentally used someone’s card that was on my taxi app account because I thought it was my card, the amount was £4.30 and I seriously didn’t mean to do this. I was phoned up by the taxi company saying that this person could go to the bank thus I could be done for fraud. Is there any chance I can fix this?

How did the card get registered on your app?
If it's someone you know and they've knowingly registered the card on your account at some point in the past, then call them, explain your mistake and pay them back.
If it's not someone you know them I'm at a loss as to why their card would legitimately be registered on your account. If it's an error by the taxi app then the onus is on them to rectify this.
Otherwise I can only suggest asking the taxi app firm to refund the payment and debit your card instead. I don't know how willing they would be to do this.

How do you accidentally use someone else’s card, where did you get the details from?
I thought my card was connected to my value cabs account which i havent used in two years but the card was a hookup i had two years ago
I think i didnt have my card duribg that time so she probably paid for my taxi back then
Fraud and theft would both involve dishonesty, in your case none was involved.
thank you ur giving me hope as the guy who phoned me said that it happens as a mistake often
You're not getting prosecuted over this, that's for certain.
Fair enough that is understandable, as this has happen to me you Ubereats and my mums card several times, it’s just the way you worded the post sounded like you used a strangers card. If you’re still in contact with the person who’s card you used, you could try sending them the money that you spent
Im not in contact with her thats the main problem I cant even remember her name
