Transcript Shows -$8,855 Credit (Higher Than Expected $3,842 Refund) - What Does This Mean & Why April Dates?

My transcript shows -$8,855.00 but my refund amount was supposed to be $3,842. Does this mean they took my refund away? I'm so confused seeing the minus sign. Been checking WMR daily for 3 weeks now with no updates. I just checked my transcript and I'm totally lost. It shows: Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data ACCOUNT BALANCE: -8,855.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 17, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 17, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount) -8,855.00 The top of the transcript says "ANY MINUS SIGN SHOWN BELOW SIGNIFIES A CREDIT AMOUNT" but I still don't understand if that's good or bad for me. My filing info shows: FILING STATUS: Head of Household EXEMPTIONS: 03 ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 16,799.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 0.00 TAX PER RETURN: 0.00 And then under TRANSACTIONS it shows: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed | 20250505 | 02-17-2025 | $0.00 76221-421-61506-5 766 Credit to your account | 04-15-2025 | -$2,145.00 768 Earned income credit | 04-15-2025 | -$6,710.00 The transaction dates are from April, but we're only in February. Does this mean I'll get my refund in April? And why does it show -$8,855.00 at the top when I was expecting $3,842? Is the minus sign good or bad here? I'm so confused and stressed about this!
