    ...so I'm in debt with them of £72.68 I was hoping I would never owe anything if I paid in full what I used each month. obviously not.
    Do you read the replies? £72.68 was what you owed on the statement date.

    "Current balance £5.00 CR" means that they owe you £5.
    However, there seem to be some unstatemented transactions as the 'available to spend' amount is smaller than the credit limit.

    I won't get into a mess with it as I'll always pay the full balance of what I use each month. I'll just have to wait for the statement to come through before I pay instead of paying sooner.

    Really you're making this complicated for yourself.

    What you need to do, as has already been said, is set your Direct Debit to be paid in full every month and stay well within your credit limit.

    Do not make additional payments and then spend again that's how it gets confusing.
