This is an interesting case. Are you recording the credit card
transactions in your books regardless of the errors of the credit card
company?
It is an example of the advantages of maintaining your record from your
receipts and entering the transactions, because then you would know
that money was owing, and how much.

If something takes more than about 18 months to show up I remove it
from active lists but preserve the data in case it turns up eventually.
I won't specify a method, because it has failings.
