Credited with my company's name instead of my own name

Hello forum!

I've written on dozens of projects for a production company, including some short documentaries that are listed on IMDb. In the latest film, someone mistakenly used the name of my company (of which I am sole proprietor) as the script credit. It's the name on my invoices, but not the writing contract, or any of the other films I've worked on. All of my writing work is done under my own name.

Soooo... I'm wondering if I will be able to have that film included on my personal IMDb page with the others. The credit is "Script", so would it acceptable to request Script (as CompanyName) for the credit, on my personal page? Or am I out of luck?

I believe the company name can’t be ”(as…)” attribute. Meaning something like ”Evans, Robert (as Paramount Pictures)”. You probably should just add the writing credit with ”(uncredited)” attribute.
