  1. Regarding student loan debts, more than 33 percent of borrowers with federal student loans are more than 5 days late on payments. 41 million Americans have more than $1.1 trillion in student loan debts. The Education Department guarantees student loans. These students loans surpass all consumer credit, except mortgages. The reasons for high loan debt includes delinquency rates, unemployment, and student borrowers. The delinquency rate is the number of loans that have delinquency payments divided by the total of loans an institution holds. These rates on loans are affected by the borrower's credit and unemployment. The percent of student borrowers who have surpassed the delinquency rates has increased greatly. The repercussions of student loan debts means that the labor-market conditions are affected. When jobs are hard to find, it becomes difficult to pay off loans. Tuition has also increased. Student loan debts make it difficult for financing start-up businesses. Many homes are not bought because of bad credit. Student loan debts cause many to become cautious about career choices. College loans reduce the probability of choosing a low-paying career.

  2. Student loans are the most common consumer credit besides mortgages. More than 33 percent of borrowers with federal student loans are late on payments. Of the $1.1 trillion total that 41 million Americans that have received student loans collectively owed, that statistic only covers two thirds of them. The Education Department guarantees student loans. High student loan debt comes from delinquency rates, most importantly, student borrowers and unemployment. Students who do not pay back their loans have a long road ahead of them. Getting mortgages to buy a house will be difficult. The demand of the loans being paid back in a certain amount of time calls for people to settle for low-paying jobs that can get them the money fast.

  3. New federal data was reported recently, stating that about thirty-three percent of people in the United States who took out federal student loans are behind on their payments. This federal data was collected by the Education Department last Thursday, which is where they found that people were more than five days late in paying for their student loans. Between about 41 million Americans, more than $1.1 trillion in education loans is owned. This number far exceeds almost every other form of loans (other than home mortgages). These student loans are guaranteed by the Education Department. Recently, the White House began to urge the Education Department to start making changes for the huge amount of federal student loans. This growing number needs improvement and the people taking out these loans need more protection against such large amounts of student debts. The three main reasons behind such high student loan debts are due to the delinquency rates, unemployment, and student borrowers. The delinquency rates are measured by the number of loans and by the dollar volume. As of December 31, the Education Department had a seventeen percent delinquency rate for its main program. Not paying back student loans can turn out to be a major problem. This will cause their credit score to plummet, making it nearly impossible to receive more loans to buy things such as a home or a car. It will also make it hard to land a well-paying job because of the low credit score.

  4. According to a report, about thirty three percent of those who took out federal student loans are behind on their payments. The thirty three percent of people are all over five days late in their payments according to a study that was taken last Thursday by the Education Department. 41 million Americans who have students loans have accumulated a whopping 1.1 trillion dollars in student loan debt. This accumulation on loans surpasses all consumer credit except for mortgages. The loans are guaranteed by the Education Department. The Education Department has been urged by the White House to make changes concerning student loans and debt. Students who take out loans are increasingly needing more and more help with their debt, due to the extreme expenses for education in America. The main reasons why there are such high student debt are because of delinquency rates, unemployment, and student borrowers. Delinquency rates are measured by loans and dollar volume. Not paying back students loans is a huge problem. Students’ credit scores can easily be affected if they do not pay back what they owe in time, potentially ruining future opportunities for jobs or other ventures, such as buying a car and house.

  5. More than 33% of borrowers were more than 5 days late on one of federal student loans. The Education Department guarantees loans.

The students who are not paying back their loans will have a rough time buying a house because of their bad credit.

  6. This article is referring towards new federal data that is showing about one-third of borrowers with federal student loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education are late on their payments. According to the Education Department, roughly 33 percent of borrowers were more than five days late on one of their federal student loans as of Dec. 31. Previously, the measures had the delinquency rate much lower. The article states that 41 million Americans collectively carry more than $1.1 trillion in education loans owned or guaranteed by the Education Department. This surpasses consumer credit in the U.S. except for home mortgages. Thursday's figure reflects more than two-thirds of the $1.1 trillion total. The remainder is owned by the private sector as part of a bank-based federal loan program that has since been discontinued. The main reasons behind the high amount of student loan debts are due to delinquency rates, unemployment, and student borrowers. Most importantly, the back-end costs for students not paying back their student loans are that people will choose the easiest job that will get them a career right away in order for them to quickly start making money. This prohibits them from finding themselves a prosperous career that will help them in the long-run as well rather than just looking at the short-term. Also, credit scores will be extremely affected and the student's credit score can take a nose-dive.

  7. According to a comprehensive study by the U.S Department of Education, of the 41 million Americans who owe loans, over 33 percent of student loans are five or more days late on payments. Loans are guaranteed by the Department of Education. High student loan debt is contributed mainly to delinquency rates, unemployment, and student borrowers. With approximately a 20 percent delinquency rate, it is believed that improved loan counseling and caps on payments can lead to lowering these rates. Repercussions of students not paying back their loans include bad credit scores, and thus a lack of contributing Americans, many of whom will end up filing for some sort of financial aid from the government. This is a paradox, as students who go to college intend on making money from their degree, then have to spend most of their income and money on the interest on their loans and then can no longer work at a prestigious workplace.

    Statistics regarding student loan debt are the 41 million Americans who owe loans. Out of those 41 million Americans, 33 percent of the student loans are five or more days late on payments. Student loans are guaranteed by the Department of Education. High student loan debt is caused by unemployment and the students who borrow money themselves.

  9. According to new federal data, there is about one-third of borrowers with federal student loans owned by the United States Department of Education who are late on their payments. There are an estimate of thirty-three percent of borrowers who were more than five days late on one of their federal student loans as of December 31. About forty-one million Americans are having more than $1.1 trillion in education loans owned or guaranteed by the Education Department. This number exceeds the total of every form of consumer credit in the United States except home mortgages. The loans are guaranteed by the Education Department. Recently, the White House urges the Education Department to change and improve on how it manages, also the growing federal student loan program. Plus, the White House urges them to give borrowers more protection against unmanageable debt loans. The three main reasons behind such high student loan debts are due to the delinquency rates, unemployment, and student borrowers. Delinquency rates are measured by loans and dollar volume. Not paying back student loans can turn out to be a major problem.

  10. According to the new federal data reported Thursday, an approximated one out of three of those who took out student loans are late in making their payment back to the U.S. Department of Education. With 41 million Americans with student loans, they together tally up to $1.1 trillion, which is higher than any other type of consumer credit. With these increased numbers the White house wants for the Education Department to grab hold and control the growing debt. Which makes sense because the Department of Education has carries the sole responsibility of guaranteeing the student loans. By allowing people to make payments based on their earnings because they “know that the rising cost of higher education and growing levels of student debt hit home for millions of Americans,” says Denise Horn, Education Department spokeswoman, so they are doing things to help make it easier for people to pay it back. 38 percent of the borrowers didn’t make their payments on time, as reported on December 31st. As the years go on the degree that is needed to get a good job is getting higher and higher, with that being said that means more years of schooling which you need money for and prompts people to take out student loans. With many still having to worry about paying back their student loans, the repercussions affect what career they would want to go into. So instead of going into a career they want and will pay off in the end, they have to settle for something that would help them start paying off the loans on time.

  19. Statistics tell us about one-third of borrowers with federal student loans owned by the U.S Department of Education are late on payments. 33% of the borrowers are more than five days late on payment. 41 million Americans collectively own more than $1.1 trillion in loans. The numbers show the obvious problems in the contracts with the Education Department something Obama has been pushing to change. The Education Department guarantees student loans. With unemployment, other student borrowers, and delinquency rates are all causes of these high student loans. With students desperately fighting with their loans and missing payments they are getting bad credit scores and almost being forced to get "easy jobs" like working for Wal-Mart or Mcdonalds to make fast money to keep up with the loans and attempt to salvage their credit scores. Instead of trying to bide their time and find a high paying job.

The three main reasons for these high student loan debts are due to the delinquency rates, unemployment, and student borrowers. Basically, the back-end costs for students not paying back their student loans cause people to choose the easiest job that will get them a career quicker in order for them to make money sooner which cause them to limit themselves from finding a prosperous career that will help them in the long-run rather than just the short-term benefits.

  21. About one-third of the borrowers with student loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education are late on their payments. Under the new measurement, 33 percent of borrowers were more than five days late on one of their federal student loans as of December 31. The U.S. Department of education guarantees student loans. There are many reasons why student loan debts are high. One reason is because of the issuing of unmanageable loans. The students who accept these loans end up with debts that they are not able to pay off. Another reason is because of the lack of loan counseling and caps on loans relative to one’s earnings. As a result of these things, students end up taking on loans that they would not be able to pay off on time, which results in high delinquency. President Barak Obama has urged the Education Department to improve its management of the growing federal student loan program and to give borrowers more protection against unmanageable debt loads. The repercussions of students not paying back their student loans are a constriction on the growth of the economy, as increased debts results in a decrease in the purchasing power of a household, and an increase in the rate of people that are experiencing debt.

However, the efforts to help former students struggling to manage their federal debt burdens have not been up to standards.

The statistics regarding student loan debt are as follows: about one-third of borrowers with federal student loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education are late with on their payments; roughly more than 55% of borrowers were more than five days late on one of their federal student loans since December 1; about 41 million Americans collectively carry $1.1 trillion in education loans. All of these student loans are guaranteed by the Department of Education. The reasons for high student loan debt are the delinquency rates, student borrowers, and unemployment. Since these students fail to pay outstanding debts, it continues to grow over time, eventually leading to debit overload or bankruptcy. Students already have to pay for many things such as food, housing, and their classes. Unemployment doesn’t help this at all since a steady source of income is not present. The repercussions of students not paying their student loans are interest and future borrowing of money setbacks. Interest building upon the already outstanding balance will cause students to drown in debt. In the future, when people need to take out more loans, they can possibly be denied the loan or given a much lesser amount due to poor management of student loans.

Delinquency rates are measured by the number of loans and by the dollar volume. As of December 31, the Education Department had a seventeen percent delinquency rate for its main program. Not paying back student loans may become very problematic. Federal Reserve policymakers to chief executives of banks and other industry groups have warned about the increasing risk that student debt poses to U.S. economic growth, noting that "debt burdens are sapping households' purchasing power amid an era of stagnant inflation-adjusted wages." These victims of large school loans that are failing to make payments on time are damaging their credit score enormously. They do not realize that this will hurt their opportunity to buy a house, buy a car, get a nice job... They also leave new students facing harsher repercussions concerning loans so that we "don't mess up" although it only becomes more difficult.

  42. College is not an easy thing to plan out. There are so many things to do and the think about that you are just bound to forget something. Sadly for this generation college is more expensive then it has ever been. Back then shall I say it was frowned upon to take out a loan from the beans unless you are in a really bad spot. College has gotten so expensive it is common for the average college student to take out loans. Through a normal 4 year college term many students rack up thousands of dollars in debt and this can ruin your credit faster then you can get credit. This in turn can stop you from getting a house a car or anything in between.
