billingdebt

It describes debt tied to invoicing errors, disputed charges, duplicate bills, prorated issuances, or failed payments that trigger additional fees. While it overlaps with general accounts receivable and consumer debt, billingdebt emphasizes disputes or mistakes in the billing pipeline that necessitate adjustment rather than straightforward nonpayment.
