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