Credit Card Payable balance is incorrect

HI, 

My boss has been using his personal c/c to do purchases.  He recently switched c/c companies.  He paid off the old c/c, but in the books it still shows a CR in 2138 Credit card payables.

I am thinking that I may have to do a GJ entry to correct this.  I am not sure which expense account to put it to.  Should I use Misc?

Or, should I do something different to fix this issue?

Thanks!

    if the c/c is actually paid off, but has a balance in sage, you need to find the transactions in error and reverse them, crediting the corresponding expense account

    if you originally
    db phone
    cr visa

    you shouldn't
    db visa
    cr misc expense <- this should be phone

    I figured it out! There was a different person in charge of the books last fiscal year. She entered a c/c bill, and I also entered it at the beginning of the new fiscal year. I didn't think of it before because the amount wasn't quite right. But there were interest charges as well.

    Thanks for your help!
