Credit card reconciliation

Liz

[rant redacted]
I cannot reconcile my credit card account against my statements.  Quicken seems to be automatically reconciling when I import transactions from the website. There were crazy adjustments added for crazy amounts. I keep ending up with weird discrepancies when there are none.  

Each month just gets crazier even though I've manually checked my register against my Visa statement. [rant redacted]

Start troubleshooting by looking at the Opening Balance transaction.
If it's greyed out (a Placeholder), replace it with a new transaction that has the correct balance for that day. That changes it to a transaction which Quicken will not mess around with.
Also get rid of any Balance Adjustment transactions.

Make sure that the "Opening Balance" transaction in your register
- always is the oldest transaction by Date
- its amount matches the bank statement balance shown on that day
- the transaction is marked "R"(reconciled) in the "Clr" column
- occurs only once in your register
- if you owe money in a credit card account, the Opening Balance transaction as shown in the register must be a negative amount, e.g., $-123.45

If the Opening Balance isn't correct, your register balance on any given day will never match the bank's balance on the same date.
