Whether a debit or a credit increases or decreases an account balance depends on the type of account. Asset and expense accounts are increased on the debit side, and liability, equity, and revenue accounts are increased on the credit side. (http://www.quickmba.com/accounting/fin/debits-credits/)
A debit balance is balance in the left side of an account.
