Presses so badly to get back (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repossess

'get back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'presses so badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram (letters in the wrong order).
'presses'+'so'='pressesso'
'pressesso' is an anagram of 'REPOSSESS'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for repossess that I've seen before include "Claim back, for default of payment perhaps" , "Get back" , "Take back (due to non-payment)" , "Retake ownership" , "Take back ownership" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
