Crossword Genius

Woman getting to right person owing money (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

debtor

'person owing money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman getting to right' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'deb' (deb is a kind of woman).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'deb'+'to'+'r'='DEBTOR'

(Other definitions for debtor that I've seen before include "Anyone owing money" , "Person owing money" , "One who owes money" , "Person who owes money" , "Opposite of creditor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
