I get the idea, but I can't find an elegant way of saying it.
Thanks

Marcelo González
: I'm not sure that "a claim" is good translation of " un crédito" (present context notwithstanding).

If \"crédito\" is debt (accumulated through credit), the word \"against\" would appear to be the correct translation in the present context. Indeed, \"contra\" is often translated as \"against\" (and this is yet another instance in which this common translation may be appropriate).

\"...outstanding claim\" is certainly possible, but this is question of register. A \"crédito\" is not only a line of credit, but can also be a loan. As an exchange student in Argentina, people would often mention \"créditos estudiantiles\" as being the equivalent to student loans (something they seemed to appreciate about the American system of education and its willingness to provide financial aid [if not the free education found in other systems])...

This may, in fact, refer to a \"credit note\" (as Luis Zepeda suggests), but I\'m not so sure that the word \"crédito\" (en la frase \"...la cesión del citado crédito\") should be translated as such.

>I don't think English grammar is that rigid (nor do see any evidence indicating that it is). Again, there are 34,000 hits for "debt against" and many make direct references to companies/individuals...
