Changing & deleting an alternative name

My name is SAM MARTIN. I am an author with three award-winning novels to my namem and two film credits on the IMDb. I am NOT known by any other name. Yet in my credits, and also as an alternative name, IMDb have "(as Peter Howey)". I have no idea why this happened - it certainly did not come from me. I wish to have the "Peter Howey" reference deleted. How do I do this? I have tried to do it via my profile page but the edit has been rejected and I have no idea why. Any help or support is really appreciated.

Hi Maya and "many thanks" for getting back to me - I really appreciate it. My previous submission reference is: IMDb update receipt #250410-195022-757000 And my page link: https://www.imdb.com/de/name/nm4112357/?ref_=tt_ov_wr_3 When I previously requested the amendement, I sent IMDb an attachement of the front cover my novel, ONE DAY IN JUNE, on which the screenplay is based. It shows clearly the writer's namae (i.e. Sam Martin). I also sent the press release for STAND UP, which shows my credit. The Stand Up DVD, the movie itself...everything to do with STAND UP (which picked up over 60 awards internationally in 2021) shows my name. The extra '(as Peter Howey)' is totally false and it is this which I wish to have corrected. Also, please see Stand Up's wiki page (in German): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_Up!_Was_bleibt,_wenn_alles_weg_ist This issue came up because my third novel, Bitterblue, has just gone into production as a movie project and - as is natural these days - people have looked up my previous credits and have got back to me with the 'who is Peter Howey?' question. So if you i.e. IMDb' can correct this I will be most grateful. And if you need anything else from me I'll be happy to oblige. All I am asking for is the removal of the added '(as Peter Howey)' from the credits, and from the 'alternative name'. One Day In June and Stand Up should show my credit as 'Sam Martin.' I'll say 'many thanks' for any help, in the hope that you can manage to correct my details. Best Wishes, SAM https://www.imdb.com/de/name/nm4112357/?ref_=tt_ov_wr_3
