Got an official letter with my name saying I received a traffic violation?

I would suggest calling the police agency that mailed it to you or contact the court if it is a summons. Yes sometimes if the name is entered incorrectly an individual can get a summons. If the agency or court advises you to come in on the date that you are to appear, bring the paper work that you have received and explain to the magistrate the situation if it was human error. If you don't get it resolved, I would suggest seeking some legal istance. Hope this helps..
