It probably isn't credit card fraud if they didn't actually use your credit card. The most likely issue is

a) The merchant doesn't verify email addresses and

b) the customer put their email address in incorrectly

Just with a minute of checking I found a hundred accounts in my system going to yaho.com, aol.co, gmal.com, etc etc. Imagine the possibilities for fumble-fingering or misremembering the part before the at-sign.

I also asked for the password to be resent from X even though I did not make the account.

This is the very definition of "accessing a computer system without authorization", which you do not want to be caught doing.

I realised this after the fact. I do not know if there is anything I can do to make amends for this.

Not really. Under the Computer Misuse Act you're effectively breaking the law. However there may be a potential defence that you were responding to a query and that your actions would be reasonable. That's a problem to worry about if you were ever to go to court though.
