Black's Law Dictionary

Lat Indebted. Nunquam indebitatus, never Indebted. The title of the plea substituted in England for nil debet.

Indebitatus assumpsit. Lat. Being indebted, he promised or undertook. This is the name of that form of the action of assumpsit in which the declaration alleges a debt or obligation to be due from the defendant, and then avers that, in consideration thereof, he promised to pay or discharge the same.
