Bad Debt Recovery

  

Just see the movie, Repo Man. But essentially, money that comes in from an unfulfilled debt.

Example: Your hooptie gets repoed by Jim's Crappy Car Loans. Jim's writes off the loss and sells the hooptie for five-hundred smackers. The money that comes in is recorded as "bad debt recovery."
