Experian Boost does not recognize "Connect Tech" as a cell phone carrier, when you pay your bill with a credit card it no longer says AT&T

You should contact the credit card company and let them know that they don't have ConnectTech coded to be show as a cell phone bill. That's who would need to make the update. 

I'm not sure why some customer's AT&T payment are through ConnectTech now, but it's not AT&T's job to worry about how credit card companies or Experian classify that payment. 

It is absolutely AT&T responsibility to show their name on a bill when you pay it! Don't be a fooled, obviously I have already worked with Experian boost regarding this and they agree completely it is AT&T s responsibility! Do some due diligence do your homework!

Yeah its a 3rd party processor so what is the big deal?  Its coded wrong well I am sorry that is on the CC you used and Experian.  It is Experians problem because they promote their own product.  Experian does business as something else also. 

Don't run from the truth 😉

There is no truth.  Tons of big companies use 3rd party processing.

If you don't want people to know what's happening at AT&T that's your prerogative😘

Att is a publicly traded company anyone can look at SEC filing and figure out what is going on.  

You are just a mad customer and your entitled to that.  

You are entitled to your opinion as well as far as a mad customer that's subjective. I am well aware that they are a publicly traded company how much of their stock do you own?

I own no stock in ATT or any other cell provider..  I do own stock in Tech companies like Apple.

👍 Apple!

investment forums might be a better suited for this part of the conversation 😆 ( not to divert from the point of the original post)

Connect Tech isn't technically a 3rd party, it's another service offered by AT&T. I think it's really strange that it's showing up as the payee for cell phone bills. 

Regardless, assigning the merchant category is definitely the responsibility of the credit card company. If you want Connect Tech's code changed, talk to them.

If you don't utilize Experian boost how in any way, shape or form would this be relevant to your concerns? 🤔😊

Perhaps a real conversation with AT&T and Experian boost would be more appropriate and more importantly a more accurate representation of realtime. Wikipedia is not necessarily the end-all-be-all of any situation and not necessarily accurate regarding actual real time circumstances. 😎

One may ask would it be easier for AT&T to simply request of connect Tech to add "AT&T - Connect Tech" to their customers receipt? Or would it be easier to convince Experian that connect Tech was really "AT&T"? 

Neither Corporation really cares about anyone as an individual.

I can't find anything official, but I'm pretty sure Experian uses the MCC to categorize payments. The MCC is assigned by the credit card company. The Wikipedia entry gives a high-level overview confirming that. 

AT&T is not involved.

This wouldn't make a difference, as the MCC wouldn't change. The system isn't looking for AT&T, unless Experian is using a really wacky system.
