As I noted above, with the 'Reverse Balance' preference set to Credit Accounts, a balance due on a Liability will show as positive. Negative will only display if you've overpaid. (a 'contra-balance' condition)

Payments therefore would make a Liability balance more negative (away from zero).

If charges do the same, your charges are backwards. They belong in the right (not left) column.

If it helps, turn on formal accounting labels.

Payments should be in the Debit column (left)
Charges in the Credit column (right)

If you've been putting charges in the left column for years, then your expense accounts are also backwards - for years.

Regards,
Adrien

larger balance due, a negative number in the balance column.
