Something that's due in an acknowledgment (6)

I believe the answer is:

credit

(Other definitions for credit that I've seen before include "Believe; account entry" , "This bank balance is a plus" , "Believe - recognition" , "Acknowledgement in a book" , "this is a decent exam grade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
