Default Why are some fares defined and others not?

Due to Southern cancellations used Tulse Hill rather than my normal Streatham Hill, from Canary Wharf, via Canada Water. Asked for a refund after being charged £2.00 exiting Tulse Hill and TfL Oystercard operator told me this was only a goodwill gesture and would not longer happen again. Seems the fare is defined to Streatham Hill but not to Tulse Hill, so you get charged at the latter. Since I haven't gone outside my zones 2 and 3 I don't understand the charge.

Any seggestions?,

Thanks all, I suppose if I had time, which I didn't in this case, I could try and exit and re-entry at Crystal Place, but its a long way up to the exit from either set of platforms
