    a quick question:

    i have a debt of 100 on my books as receivable.
    i factor it and get 100 and the terms are such that its a loan.

    so i will setup the entry as follows:

    Dr Debts Factored (or whatever its formally called) 100
    Cr Liability 100
    ————————
    and the balance in Receivables remains in the books as it is. .. correct?

    now, lets say i get 80 from the factor and its still a loan

    Dr Debts Factored 80
    Liability 80
    ————————
    and the balance in Receivables remains in the books as it is. .. correct?

    thanks

    And the last 20 debit should be expenses

    And you’re never in this world going to get $100 for factoring $100 of debt

    And basically the entry is
    Dr Cash 80
    Dr Finance Costs 20
    Cr Loan Account 100

    OK?
