Problem changing bank account for credit card
Posted: 27 June 2019, 11:16
I have changed the debited bank account for a number of credit card accounts, and I'm trying to change the settings in iCompta.
When I select the new bank account as the debited account for a credit card, I would expect the next transfer to be the same amount as what it was with the previous debited bank account. That is, for all the transactions in the relevant period, the new bank account gets debited and the credit card gets credited: the payment is transferred from the bank account to the credit card. Only the source of the transfer should change (I think).
However, what actually happens after I change the debited bank account is that it debits the credit card and credits the bank account for most but not all categories of transactions in the relevant period.
I've experimented with switching my credit card accounts to other bank accounts as debited accounts, with the same results. The transfer ends up being 'backwards' for most but not all transactions.
I've noticed that I can probably work around this by creating new credit card accounts and moving this month's transactions into them, but it would be nice to understand if I'm doing something wrong here…
Is it possible to switch debited bank accounts for a credit card account after it has been up and running for a few years? Or is it expected behaviour to have to create a new credit card account if you want to debit a different bank account?
Thanks! Sorry if this is not clear. It's a weird problem…
