Were there any payments and were they recorded as purchases?
In your OFX file what is the block after the </STATUS> tag? A normal CC one
should look like
<CCSTMTRS>
<CURDEF>USD</CURDEF>
<CCACCTFROM>
<ACCTID>XXXX</ACCTID>
</CCACCTFROM>
In a purchase transaction what is the sign on the amount?
It shouldn't matter, but what have you selected in Preferences>Accounts for
Reverse Balance Accounts?
