I think I've fixed it. It wasn't a mis-spelling but close. At the beginning of my ledger file I had: Opening Balances Liabilities:CreditCard $1470.76
I changed that to: Liabilities:CreditCard $-1470.76 and the credit card balance now seems to be correct. My thanks to all who replied trying to help and my apologies for taking up the group's time with what turned out to be a beginner error.
