    If we receive money from a debt that has previously been written off as irrecoverable, the entry is
    Dr Cash
    Cr Irrecoverable debts expense

    If we receive money from a debt for which there is an allowance because it is doubtful, the entries are as you have written.

    I do explain all of this in my free lectures.
