Mastercard 4842: Late Presentment

A Mastercard dispute reason code, what it asks you to prove, and what Do The Proof puts in the response.

This code is retired

Absent from the Mastercard Chargeback Guide of 13 May 2025 and consolidated into 4853, 4834 and 4808. The inventory records no retirement date, only the edition it is missing from, and it abbreviates the legacy names inside one grouped cell.
