Narrative:

On flight XXX from avl to clt it was low ceiling and low visibility. As we switched over to tower we heard tower say to the #1 in position call when the next aircraft passes you. We heard that cal. We landed and cleared the runway at the second high speed taxiway. Told tower we cleared the runway. Went over to ground and ground called us flight xaxx. It wasn't us it was a flight that just landed in front of us. We told him that we were flight XXX and not flight xaxx, he said yea it landed in front of us; sorry and told us to go over to ramp control. As I got to the ramp I was told to call the tower. When I called the tower they said we did not let them know we had cleared the runway possibly causing a potential go around for that runway. That did not happen. We called and we were acknowledged by ground by the mere fact we told him that we were not flight xaxx and we were in fact flight XXX. I feel that they have already pulled the tapes found there 'oops', and have dropped it. Also someone needs to look into the runway situation at cle hopkins airport. Another detroit is going to happen there. There are too many intersecting runways in cle with no pat definition of where they are. Check it out on an approach plate. On a low visibility day or worse night this is an accident in the making.
