Accounting, Payroll & Pension Issues/Balance Sheet entry

Question
What balance sheet account is used for both credit card accounts and a bank line of credit?  Also, what action is taken when draws are made and repayments?  You assistance is greatly appreciated!

Answer
Both are current liablities, if the credit line is significant it should have its own line on the balance sheet. The credit cards should be a part of accounts payable.

If it is credit card money due you, it should be treated the same as accounts receivable.

Good luck
