wrong person credited for my show Word and Deed
I tried to register my credits for my show Word and Deed, but it couldn't find me in the pull-down, so I changed my user name from Tammy - a bunch of numbers to TammyThompsonFilmmaker but it still could not find me in the database. So I explained when I added myself as the creator, writer, and director, I had changed my name to TammyThompsonFilmmaker. But instead of trying to find me, they credited the creator to some other person named Tammy Thompson.

Profile pages (like in your first screenshot) and name pages are different things. The former exist separately from the database portion of the site, are never linked from IMDb title pages, and don't show up when you try to add credits.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm18147185/
If this is your first ever credit, then this is actually the correct page for you. However, I suspect you meant to add this Tammy Thompson to the movie?
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16254124
In that case you'll have to submit a name merge. This is explained here:

(Side note, it's funny that the name "Tammy Thompson" causes articles on the last season of Stranger Things to appear in the news section because that was the name of an unseen character related to a big plot twist.)
