A scheduled or provisionally credited payment can later be reversed if the funding bank rejects it. The card app's first confirmation may therefore differ from the final ledger.
What to check
Check the bank transaction, issuer's posting and reversal dates, due date, and any notice of a returned payment. Ask the issuer to explain the account status for the reporting month.
What to do next
If a lender's records show an on-time completed payment yet a late status appears, dispute the specific month with proof. If the payment was actually returned, plan to cure the balance and prevent another failed debit.
