Hi Claudio,
I use to put payments done using a credit card under 'accounts payable' and
that under 'liabilities'.
Each payment with the credit card is treated as 'money borrowed from a
bank', and when the balance on the credit card is reduced by a partial or a
full payment, this money sholud be deducted from an 'asset' such as current
account, savings account, cash in wallet, just to name a few types of
assets.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
LDL
