    I am not sure but I think it will be like this:

    You mean Notes Receivable or Notes Payable?

    If the compnay has to pay, it must be Payables.

    In that case, you credit Cash with the amount paid.

    You debit Notes payable with $3000.

    You debit Interest Payable with the amount of interest.

    You also debit some appropriate Expense account with the amount of penalty.
