Hi I am developing an application for my uni project but I am having
trouble with validation error message doesn't show if the validation
error is in a different model

So where my validation is in the Credit Model but in an Administration
view/controller I save to the Credit Model

so my credit model is like so

var $validate = array(
      'credits'=>array(
      'rule' => array('comparison', '>',0),
      'message' => 'credit has to be a number and bigger than 0'
      )
)

and in my Administration controller I have the following

function add() {
    // get the user id value from the form
    $userId = $this->data['Administration']['user_id'];
    // get the user's active credit
    $credit = $this->Credit->find('first', array(
        // return only this model (no associated models)
        'recursive' => -1,
        'conditions' => array('user_id' => $userId, 'paid_out' => 0)
    ));
    $numCredits = $this->data['Administration']['credits'];
    $credit['Credit']['credits'] = $credit['Credit']['credits'] +
$numCredits;

        $this->Credit->set(array('credits' => $numCredits));

        if ($this->Credit->validates()){

                //if($this->Credit->save($credit)){

                        $this->Credit->save($credit);
                        // let the admin know the credits have been added
                        $this->flash('You have now added ' . $numCredits . ' 
credits to the
user\'s account', array('action' => 'index'), '5');
                } else
                {
                        //loads addCredits
                        $this->addCredits();
                        //reapply previous information from view
                        $this->render('addCredits');
                }
  }

I also have the following in the administration view

    <div class="fieldData">
          <?php echo $form->error('credits'); ?>
      <?php echo $form->input('credits', array('size' => '2', 'label'
=> false));?>
    </div>

Can someone please give me some advice I been looking at this for like
hours and can't figure out why error message doesn't show

Many thanks
