Absolutely. Debits must balance credits in every single transaction,
without exception.

If you get something in imbalance, it mean you entered an unbalanced
transaction. Then you need to find it and fix it.

Talking about a "credit action _from_ interest" confused me. Normally we
debit an account or debit to an account, and we credit an account or
credit to an account.
