Ridiculous overdue amount must be circumvented (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outmanoeuvred

'circumvented' is the definition.

'ridiculous overdue amount' is the wordplay.
'ridiculous' indicates anagramming the letters.
'overdue'+'amount'='overdueamount'
'overdueamount' anagrammed gives 'OUTMANOEUVRED'.

'must be' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
