Record it, perhaps, for one who is owed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

creditor

'one who is owed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'record it perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'record'+'it'='recordit'
'recordit' anagrammed gives 'CREDITOR'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for creditor that I've seen before include "Moneylender" , "Person to whom debt is owed" , "Cried rot (anag.)" , "He should be paid" , "The one to whom debt is due" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
