Credit card problem.

I paid off a debt, but it still shows up on my credit report. How do I fix it?

You paid the debt. You closed the loop. Maybe you even felt that rare, glorious moment of financial relief. And then—bam—it’s still sitting on your credit report like nothing ever happened. Credit reports aren’t always perfectly up to date, and sometimes things fall through the cracks. The trick is knowing what’s normal, what’s wrong, and what to do next.

Woman concerned about pay app

I was tricked into sending money through an app, but my bank won’t dispute the charge because I “authorized” it. Is there any way to get my money back?

You didn’t get hacked. You didn’t have your card stolen. You sent the money yourself, because someone convinced you to. Now the bank says the charge was authorized, so there’s nothing they can do. Unfortunately, this is one of the hardest types of fraud to reverse, but “hard” doesn’t mean “impossible”.
