  Hi, I have loan accounts set up so that each time I make a payment to one of then from my current a/c, I mark this as a Transfer into that loan a/c, for instance Mortgage. The starting balance is what was owed when I set the account up. So every time I make a payment it will decrease the amount in the loan account.
  However, in my current a/c, the expenses unspent is the figure as if it was unspent, so that at the end of each month, it looks like any payment I made to any loan account is not spent, so the figure is off. What way would you recommend I deal with loan repayments? Thanks. And I love this software!
