It works fine but starts from where the pointer left off.  i dont know how to solve this.  where do i put the '\n'?  to be honest the .join i dont understand but otherwise it prints as a list e.g. ('name','age','etc')

You top-posted.  Please put your response *after* what you're quoting.

Anyway, since you're the one writing the original file, the problem is, 
as I said, the file is broken.  You don't write a trailing newline.  So 
the simplest fix is to add another write() call.

User_info.write("\n".join(Details))
User_info.write("\n")

The join command puts the specified text *between* the list elements, 
but not after the last one.
