Help needed

Hi All, Really need some advice / help.
I have been driving for 15 years and have a clean licence with
no points i work in the motor trade so my licence is essential
to keep my job, If i get 6 points or more i wont be able to be
insured so will loose my employment equally if i get any form of
ban it will be the same, My household depends on me working to
provide for my partner who is a career for her disabled mum who
lives with us and we have two children both with proven
additional needs as the sole income generator of the house hold
loosing my employment would cause so much damage to the
household.
Back in July i received a letter for contravene a red traffic
light nip which i sent back as i was driving as i was, I
remember the incident it was a Single lane bridge i had been
waiting at the red light and for some reason i went over it i am
sure the red light went off but cant recall seeing a green light
( i know this is not a valid defense but it is genuine) going
over the bridge i saw a car coming the other way to my horror i
believe the other car had jumped the light as did my partner who
was in the car with me) i remember flashing them as i believed
he jumped the light and there was enough room for us both to get
through so we passed and didnt think much more of it.
I have not heard anything back from the police so i called them
and asked if they had received my letter saying i was the driver
they said yes but cant discuss any further as it has been
refereed to court. They wouldn't tell me what for?
The original NIP says contravene a red traffic light signal
After googling online ( worse thing to do i know) i am concerned
the charge might have changed to something like careless or
dangerous driving which will have a massive impact to my
licence. I know the bridge has no cameras so could only be by
dash cam i have been reported. If it was the car behind me at
the lights it will only show me driving through a 'red' light
although hopefully it might show the light glitched however if
it was the other car its going to look like i was driving at him
flashing him. I am deeply concerned as this really was a strange
and unfortunate situation. Any advise would be greatly
appreciated.to clarify I have not yet had the court letter with
confirmation on why the original nip of contravene a red traffic
light signal has been sent to court or if the charge has been
upgraded for what ever reason

There is no advice anybody on here can give you until you know
what you have been charged with.
So long as your response has been received it is very unlikely,
from your description, that any offence has been committed which
would attract six points.
