Because you're confused with the definition of credits and debits.
A debit is TO and a credit is FROM.  Most people are confused about
this because banks send you statements from their point of view, and
what is a credit to them is a debit to you, and vice versa.  So when
they list credits to your account, when you see it it's really a debit.
