Any MSR charge, and all interest imposed under section 37, that is unpaid may be recovered as a debt in any court of competent jurisdiction in the name of the Agency.

Any action or remedy for recovery of any MSR charge and any interest under section 37 may be taken at any time, despite any written law to the contrary.

All MSR charges collected or recovered under this Part, and all interest imposed under section 37, must be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
