Accounts Receivable is classified as an Asset. Assets have a normal Debit balance. If you mean to say that the customer has paid off some of the amount in their account, then the amount is listed on the Credit side and in the Debit side of the Cash account. If they have bought supplies on the account (owe you money) then the amount is put into the Debit side.
If an account has a credit balance the customer must have overpaid on their account or a credit was issued by the company and posted to the customers account, resulting in a credit or negative balance.
In order to credit a customer in the account, a credit note must be issued. After that is done, a journal entry can be made to indicate the credit.
Notes Receivable represents claims for which formal instruments of credit are issued as evidence of debt, such as a promissory note. The credit instrument normally requires the debtor to pay interest and extends for time periods of 60-90 days or longer.

No. There is no time set for a credit card. It is issued at the pleasure of the CC company, and used at the pleasure of the customer.
The provision for doubtful debts is also known as the provision for bad debts and the allowance for doubtful accounts.The provision for doubtful debts is identical to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The provision is the estimated amount of bad debt that will arise from accounts receivable that have not yet been collected. The provision is used under accrual basis accounting, so that an expense is recognized for probable bad debts as soon as invoices are issued to customers, rather than waiting several months to find out exactly which invoices turned out to be bad debts. Thus, the net impact of the provision is to accelerate the recognition of bad debts.You typically estimate the amount of bad debt based on historical experience, and charge this amount to expense with a debit to the bad debt expense account (which appears in the income statement) and a credit in the provision for doubtful debts account (which appears in the balance sheet). You should make this entry in the same period when you bill the customer, so thatrevenues are matched with all applicable expenses (as per the matching principle).The provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account, so it should always have a credit balance, and is listed in the balance sheet directly below the accounts receivable line item.Later, when you identify a specific customer invoice that is not going to be paid, you eliminate it against the provision for doubtful debts. This can be done with a journal entry that debits the provision for doubtful debts and credits the accounts receivable account; this merely nets out two accounts within the balance sheet, and has no impact on the income statement. If you are using accounting software, you would create a credit memo in the amount of the unpaid invoice, which creates the same journal entry for you.
A credit memo is issued by a bank to one of its customers, indicating that funds are being added or replaced into that customer's account. There are many situations that can trigger a credit memo from a bank, including refund of fees it may have previously charged.
The term interest credit refers to percentage of the credit that will be added as interest by the bank that issued a credit card. In this case, when the customer exceeds the allowed money limit, the bank will start taking interest on the exceeded credit.
If none of your legal information is attached to the card (SSN for example) then the answer is No it will not affect your presonal credit score.
