A $20,000 charge to the credit card in April was refunded in June, which caused a beginning credit balance. Additional charges were made, but not enough to "use-up" the available credit. How do I post the charges in quickbooks to balance to the credit card statement???
The balance doesn't matter. Enter each transaction in the Credit Card register just as you would in your bank register, including the refund. The credit balance will be used up as you continue to use the card.
It's not our company's credit card, nor customer's credit card, it's charges that I'd normally write a check for to pay a credit card bill. Credit card summary: Previous balance $1,200.82, Credits -$21,200.82, Purchases +$9,211.71, New Balance -$10,788.29. I need to know how to log/post the $21,200.82 credits and $9,211.71 charges in the same transaction; it won't let me enter a negative amount on a check.

It sounds like what you're basically describing is a case that is similar to responding to an expense report: Someone charges things on their personal credit cards, or perhaps pays cash or whatever, submits a record of that activity, and then the company cuts a check to them.
In this case, I suppose it depends on how you want to carry the credit with the person you normally write a check to for these charges.
If you expect the person to write you a checks and give back the money, then record the details you mention as a bank Deposit, which should net to the amount of the check you'll receive (the reverse of what you usually do.)
If not, if they just get to keep the money, then you could set up an asset account to track what is basically a loan you've made to the person. Enter a transaction in the loan register to increase it with the details you mention. Then, each month when there are new charges by the person, decrease the asset account balance with another transaction in the register.
