I worked on the film Pays (2016) and was credited under an incorrect name "Lea Machin" - I must have misread the instructions about correcting this and attempted to merge the incorrect name/credit with my own page profile Lisa Machin but now I am not able to delete the alternate name. My time sheets and contract for my work on Pays have my name spelled correctly.  While I did see the film at a premiere event a few years ago and thought my name was spelled correctly on screen, I have not been able to verify this myself. Could someone check on this for me and delete the alternate incorrect name?

Lisa,

Submitting a name merge was the correct move. However, it appears that your name is listed twice. One without an attribute and one with the attribute (as Lea Machin).

If you know your name was spelled correctly in the closing credits and was submitted to the IMDb in error, then you can submit another update removing the duplicate credit. Ideally, if you have a photo still of the closing credit, this would help prove how you were credited.

I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any more questions.

Thank you for getting back to me. I will need to try to find a way to see the film again to confirm the actual spelling in the credits and get a screen grab. I will work on finding the film online so I can watch it.
