Why are my credits given to a different Michelle Michaels?

She uses one letter L in Michele! I spell it Michelle

in the films, it is MICHELLE

A lot of the data on IMDb is submitted by contributors who are fans of some sort with little to go on other than what appears on screen. They can and do make mistakes. In my experience selecting the correct person when presented with a list of possible names is one of the more difficult tasks.

The best way to avoid having incorrect credits for your work is to submit accurate information before anyone else has a chance to submit inaccurate information.

Thank you. Any idea as to how I can get  it corrected?

Your need to submit corrections to the credits. That can be done either from the page for the title - easier if there is only one or you have not done it before - or from the page for whichever "Michele Michaels" currently has the credit - quicker for multiple credits on that page, using the "Show name" feature which is not so well known.

The best way to do that depends on how many credits need correcting and how many name pages are involved.

First, do you have a name page already? https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=michelle%20michaels&s=nm&exact=true&ref_=fn_nm_ex - the exact search for your name with the two 'l's gives me 9 results. Is one of those yours?

Then there is the question of which "Michele" - two turn up in the exact name search.

If you can say how many credits need correcting, what page they are on and where they should be - either existing page or a new page - I or any other experienced contributor will be able to explain how to submit the necessary corrections.
