Second hood at credit centre glowered (7)
I believe the answer is:
scowled
'glowered' is the definition.
(scowling is a kind of glowering)
'second hood at credit centre' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'hood' becomes 'cowl' (synonyms).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'centre' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'credit' are 'ed'.
's'+'cowl'+'ed'='SCOWLED'
(Other definitions for scowled that I've seen before include "Looked gloomy" , "Pulled a face" .)
