It depends on how you have already treated the bad debt in the accounts, if you've already either written the debt off or fully provided for it then the recovery of the debt will be a P&L transaction (income statement)
If you meant long term debt, then its a non-current liability, and it goes under the Equity and Liabilities section of the balance sheet.
