# Fee Debts

> Use the Fee Debts page in the Midaz Console to list the fee debts of a ledger and to collect the open debt of a balance.

The **Fee Debts** page lists the [fee debts](https://docs.lerian.studio/en/products/midaz/fees/fee-debt.md) of a ledger. A fee debt is the part of a deferrable fee that the payer could not fund. From this page, you can also collect the open debt of a balance.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Enable the Fees Engine in [Midaz module settings](https://docs.lerian.studio/en/platform/console/plugin-settings.md) before you use this page.

## Accessing the Fee Debts page

***

In the Midaz Module sidebar, expand **Fees Engine**. Select **Fee Debts**. The page lists the fee debts of the Ledger that you select in the organization switcher.

By default, the page shows the open debts. Use the filters to change the list:

* **Account Alias** and **Balance Key**: show the debts of one balance. Without a **Balance Key**, the page uses the `default` balance of the account. Select **Apply filters** to use them.
* **Status**: show **Open debts**, **Settled debts**, or **All**.

When you filter the list by account and it has debts, the page also shows **Total open**, the total that the balance owes.

Each row shows:

| Column | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Debtor balance** | The balance that owes the debt, as `alias#key`. |
| **Asset** | The asset of the debt. |
| **Opened amount** | The amount of the debt when it opened. |
| **Remaining amount** | The amount that the balance still owes on the debt. |
| **Opened at** | The date and time when the debt opened. |
| **Origin transaction** | The transaction that opened the debt. Select it to open the transaction. |

## Collecting open debt

***

A collection settles the open debts of one balance from its available balance, without a new credit.

**1. Choose the balance**

In the row of a debt with a remaining amount, select **Collect**.

**2. Review the figures**

The **Collect open debt** dialog shows the **Debtor balance**, its **Total open debt**, and its **Available balance**.

**3. Confirm the collection**

Select **Collect**. The Console shows the collected amount, or a warning if Midaz collected nothing.

The collection applies to all the open debts of the balance, not only to the debt in the row. Midaz settles them oldest first, up to the available balance, and can settle part of a debt. It charges no fee on the collection. You cannot revert a collection.

The Console collects up to the full open debt of the balance. To set a maximum amount, use [Collect open fee debts](https://docs.lerian.studio/en/reference/products/midaz/v2/collect-a-balance-s-open-fee-debts.md) with `maxAmount`.

If you do not have permission to collect fee debt, the Console does not show **Collect**.
