Nationwide ISA problem

My dad made a savings account for me for me to open when I turn 18, but I've had issues changing address. He opened it using my mum's name (when we lived in our other house) but her name has a typo of one letter. She has been requested to give proof of her maiden name but it is spelt wrong on their system. My details don't have any issue but is this going to stop me being able to take the money out?

    There is an  account held by Nationwide which stands in the  maiden name of your mother as Trustee for you?

    The address on the account is your (and your mother's) old address?

    Your mother's  maiden surname is incorrectly spelt on this account.

    Your mother provides copies of her birth and marriage certificates to Nationwide together with proof of her current address. She explains that there was a spelling mistake in recording the name.

    She then follows Nationwide's procedure to remove her name form the account so that it stands in your sole name?
