English term or phrase: owe debts
Sliter litt med idiomatikken her. Sammenhengen er betalingssystemer:

"Funds capture refers to the electronic retrieval of funds, typically by a payment system on behalf of the deploying company, from payers, such as customers, who owe debts to the deploying company."

Skylde gjeld? Nei.
Stå i gjeld til? Er vel mer eller mindre bare i overført betydning.
Skylde penger? For tabloid.

Forslag mottas med takk.

ha gjeld
Explanation:
As usual, the problem lies with the original phrase. Owe money would have been better, as these debts are usually settled on a monthly basis without even accrued interest. I see you don't like 'skylde penger til', and then 'ha gjeld til' is practically THE remaining choice...
