TFL wrong name on PCN

Hi All

I'm having a bit of trouble with TfL. 

I drove through the Rotherhithe Tunnel in London in an overweight vehicle, they changed the weight in it from 18t to 2t in 2018 and I was unaware of the change. 

Long story short I was issued a fine, I challanged the original fine as I believe the signage wasn't clear. They rejected my original fine (which had my correct name on) so I paid the fine at the reduced rate (£80) 

Since then I've had 2 more PCNs arrive for different occasions both within weeks of the first, both with my first and last name the wrong way round ie Smith John, rather than John Smith (there isn't an apostrophe ie Smith, John as one could expect to find).

I replied stating I'd paid the 1st fine, but asked for a reduction in the other 2 as I can't afford to pay the 3 and if I'd have known I was breaking the contravention (I'm not sure if its law) I wouldn't of done it. 

I mentioned in the letter that they had my name wrong and asked for it to be corrected. 

I've since recieved a letter refusing any offer to pay less and informing me that I need to pay 2 lots of £240.00, that letter still has the incorrect name on it.

The usual threats of County Court are made etc. 

I'm minded to write back and say I won't be paying anything until they can get my name right, and offer me the reduction if I pay early (£80 rather than £240 for each fine).

What chance do I stand of holding my ground and asking for the fines to be issued in the correct name? 

Thanks in advance 

Dan
