Dilemma: Biometric request letter came with wrong name

Hi all ,

I really need some advice on if this has happened with any one else before.
I recently applied for the Naturalisation to be a British Citizen , everything was fine they send me the acknowledgement letter saying that they received ,y application etc. However they recently sent my the biometric request letter stating my previous name . I have made it clear in my application that my name was changed provided supporting documents in the form of my deedpoll . I am very hesitant to take the letter to the post office to enrol my biometic with my former name as I think this may cause problems in the future . Do anyone have any advice on what I should do or have any one had this problem before ? its very irritating for me as I dont understand why some letters are saying my correct name and others are using my former name .

What name appears in your foreign passport, new name or old name?

thank you for your response .

well i send in 2 passports my old/expired passport still carried the old name and my new current passport carrys my new name along with all my documents states my new name.

The only issue i can see is that my leave to remain letter and stamp stays the old name however my deepoll clearly states my name was changed legally also .
