That is what I do, so why am I getting an increased -ve balance in the
balance column, like this?
or this?
the bank account entry looks like this, under the 'payments out and
payments in' columns
??

OK, I have columns marked payment; charge; and balance.
I find these non-formal labels confusing.
I translated them as payment to the bank/credit card company; spend on the
credit card and the balance after entries in one or the other.
Do I change the headings? or am I in the wrong sort of register or type of
a/c? or are the entries in the wrong place?
In the "credit card" account:
When you buy something, the amount should be in the Credit column, the
one headed "Charge". This will increase the "Balance".
When you pay the provider from your bank account, the amount should be in
the Debit column, the one headed "Payment". This will reduce the
"Balance".
In an Expense account, the amount (relating to the thing you bought) will
be in the Debit column, which I see gets headed "Expense". This increases
the "Balance".
In a Bank account, the amount (relating to paying off your credit card)
will be in the Credit column, informally headed "Withdrawal". This
reduces the "Balance".
