Debit account
Say I purchsed $500 in Office Supplies on account, I return the office supplies, since I purchased them on account, the company I purchased them from will extend me a credit to my account decreasing the balance I owe them by the said amount. My books will record....Account Payable (debit)Office Supplies (credit)I debit my Account Payable to show that I no longer owe that amount and I credit my Office Supplies to show that I no longer have that amount of supplies on hand.
It's on the Debit side. A current asset. A = Assets --------DEBIT L = Liabilities -----------------------------CREDIT O = Owner's equity --------------------------CREDIT R = Revenue ---------------------------CREDIT E = expenses --------DEBIT All expenditures in different heads of accounts are debit and all income are credit. for an example, you deposite a certain amount to your correspondence bank. To your company's account register bank account of that certain amount will be debit & your company's account will be credit of that said amount. Credit decreases the normal balance of Office Supplies account.
The amount which is paid on account(credit) should be recorded in a liability account i believe while record the purchased supplies in the asset.
You can't MAKE a credit card company reopen an account. You can call the credit bureau and request that they change the status to indicate that is was closed by you and not the credit grantor. Or, you can simply put a notation in your credit report stating that the account was closed by you and not the card company.

liability with a credit balance
It happens and can be disputed. Call you credit card company or credit agencies.
Purchases on account increases both Assets and Liabilities. Since a purchase on account becomes and account payable it is a liability account and the company's liabilities will increase the amount of the purchase. More than likely the purchase is for some type of equipment or supplies the company needs to operate and therefore is an asset to the company and that asset will increase by the same amount. Let's say Company X purchases $5,000 in supplies from company Z on account, Company X will record the transaction as follows. Supplies (dr) $5,000 Acc.Pay. Comp. Z (cr) $5,000 Remember Assets = Liabilities + Equity Assets increase with a debit Liabilities and Equity increase with a credit.
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.
An adjustment is usually an entry made near the end of an accounting cycle (often during the trial balance stage) to bring an account into balance. For instance, the "books" may show a certain quantity on hand -say 1000 units- of supplie, but when you do a physical count you discover there are only 900 units on hand. At this point you will have to make an adjusting entry to the supplies expense account (a credit balance account-the supplies account has a debit balance) of 100 to offset the supplies account and bring the account in balance: Or you can just credit the difference directly into the supplies account: Debit Credit Balance Supplies- 1000 (100) 900

No, a credit card company will not reopen a charged off account. They may choose to grant you a new line of credit, but this would be rare.
