Be in debt to (3)

I believe the answer is:

owe

'be in debt to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owe that I've seen before include "Have a debt to (someone)" , "Need to pay" , "Be indebted" , "Ben in debt" , "Have to thank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the LA Times, the USA Today, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
