Court messed up my name, whats my play?

What's most important is what's on the actual ticket. If they misspelled your name on the actual ticket, you can likely get out of it by pleading not-guilty and going in front of a judge. If they spelled your name correctly on the ticket, I'd pay it, but try to get the fees reduced due to the situation.

Yup, this is the exact same thing.

1) That there is an error on the letter doesn't mean that there is an error on the ticket. As Otnemem pointed out what matter is what is on the ticket itself.

2) Assuming there is an error on the ticket it is not certain that this is a material error so the ticket might still be valid if the rest of the information is correct. What constitutes a material error is jurisdiction dependent.

3) Even if there is a material error at this point if you are getting 2nd notices and additional fees you have already been convicted. It would have been a lot easier to contest the ticket before a conviction was entered. Now that a conviction has been entered contesting it would be more effort then it is worth.
