[GNC] moving unpaid invoices between businesses?

Hello Folks,

I have a conundrum - I have historic unpaid invoices in one business and 
would like to transfer them to another business.  Both conceptually, how 
should I go about this, and practically how should I go about this with 
two sets of gnucash accounts?

I thought of issuing credit notes against the invoices in the business 
I'm transferring from and then reissue them in the business I'm 
transferring to - but, then that might let the recalcitrant debtors off 
the hook.

It seems like I'm selling the debt to the new business - so, similar to 
selling the invoices to a debt collection service, perhaps?  That would 
mean issuing new invoices from the old business to the new business - 
but then, what are the new invoices for, the old invoices...

This makes my head hurt; it must have been done before.

Many thanks.
