Bad Debt

Bad debt is when a company acknowledges that it is unable to recover the money owed to them by a customer. This occurs when the customer is incapable of repaying the amount borrowed. It is a distressing situation that organizations encounter, as they anticipated receiving the payment. Despite efforts to collect the debt, it becomes clear that the customer is unable to meet their financial obligation. This unfortunate circumstance often necessitates companies to write off the debt as a loss.
