I'm having trouble filing with companies house. My accounts are balanced but figures don't go into companies house online filing.
Figures are
Fixed assets 6,000
Current assets 17,332
Creditors falling within 12 mths 35,000
Net current assets 52,332
Total asserts less current liabilities 58,332
Reserves 58,332
So I'm balanced, but when I put in the creditors falling within 12mths of 35,000 it tells me it must be not positive?
If I put in a negative I'm unbalanced.
How do I sort and file the accounts

Nice explanation here:
Balance Sheet Explained - Maslins Accountants Maslins Accountants
I'm no accountant, but it looks like you've misunderstood creditors. Those are people you owe money to. Not people who owe money to you.
If you get it wrong, there are consequences. At least for the first annual return, I'd have an accountant either do it, or check it for you.

You owe creditors so the value is negative. It's your net balance that's wrong.
