collection fee

Debt recovery cost

A collection fee is a charge added to a debt when it's turned over to a collection agency or attorney for recovery.

The fee covers the cost of pursuing payment and is typically passed on to the debtor, increasing the total amount owed: The original $500 bill ballooned to $650 after collection fees.
