Exactly. When you make a plea don't you have to give details of your earnings so a court knows how much they can fine you. I'm pretty sure you'd be required to put your national insurance number on this. Of course a made up person won't have one of these.
If there has been no correspondance with the court on behalf of the made up name by the op then I can't see how they have perverted the course of justice. Giving a false name is an offence under RORA, however given no legal action had started at this point, I don't think the threshold for perverting the course of justice has been met, however if the OP communicates with the court on behalf of the made up name or pays any fine for them then that's another matter.
No you don't have to give income details
Also as I have previously pointed out upthread the OP is legally entitled to use what ever name they wish and also there will be many people who will not have an NI number to hand over
Having said this the OP should still seek proper legal advice as to whether to Come Clean to the TOC, Come clean to the Court or simply plead guilty , not send in any details and hope the court will be so busy with Covid that they are sent a fine that they can simply pay and move on with their life
I have always avoided wanting to be like a cow who bangs on the door of the abattoir and shouts "Let Me In" !

Where an offender has failed to provide information, or the court is not satisfied that it has been given sufficient reliable information, it is entitled to make such determination as it thinks fit regarding the financial circumstances of the offender (CJA 2003, s.164(5)). Any determination should be clearly stated on the court records for use in any subsequent variation or enforcement proceedings. In such cases, a record should also be made of the applicable fine band and the court’s assessment of the position of the offence within that band based on the seriousness of the offence.
Where there is no information on which a determination can be made, the court should proceed on the basis of an
assumed relevant weekly income of £440. This is derived from national median pre- tax earnings*; a gross figure is used as, in the absence of financial information from the offender, it is not possible to calculate appropriate deductions.
