German term or phrase: der Hauptschuld zuschlagen
From a lending agreement:

"Soweit der Darlehensnehmer die Darlehenszinsen nicht rechtzeitig (...) an den Darlehensgeber bezahlt, werden die Zinsen **der Hauptschuld zugeschlagen**".

Do I understand it right that if the interest is not paid in due time, it will be added to the principal?

added to the principal debt
Explanation:
Need to get across the association with "HAUPTschuld". ('primary' debt could be used instead as well).
