    What you describe is exactly what I would expect to happen for a credit card type account in Reckon Accounts, the credit card charges increase the balance and the payments decrease it. Can you clarify what version of Reckon you are using and where you are looking at what you call the 'balance total'?

    Sue is quite correct.  Each credit card purchase increases the liability which is reported as a positive number in the General Ledger account for the particular credit card.  When a payment is made, the credit card liability is reduced by the amount of the payment.
