These findings come from a new analysis conducted by TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) and featured at the company\u2019s 2025 Financial Services Summit, attended by 300+ leading industry executives.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Education (DOE) initially suspended federal student loan payments in March 2020. The agency called for payments to resume in September 2023, with servicers directed not to report them to credit bureaus until October 2024, with the requirement that borrowers only be reported to credit bureaus as delinquent when they reach 90 days or more past due on federal student loan accounts. Last month, the DOE announced it would resume collection activities effective today.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis found that 20.5% of federal student loan borrowers with a payment due are 90 days or more past due (90+ DPD) as reported by their servicer through February 2025. This compares to 11.5% in February 2020, near the beginning of the pandemic and the subsequent student loan pause. The current rate of delinquency represents the highest figure ever recorded.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <strong>More Consumers are 90+ Days Past Due (90+ DPD) Than Just Prior to the Pandemic<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<table style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;border-collapse: collapse;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"max-width:20%;width:20%;min-width:20%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: top\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" style=\"max-width:40%;width:40%;min-width:40%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">\n            <strong>February 2020<\/strong>\n          <\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" style=\"max-width:40%;width:40%;min-width:40%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">\n            <strong>February 2025<\/strong>\n          <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"max-width:16%;min-width:16%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: middle;text-align: left;padding-left: 10.0px;vertical-align: top\">\n            <strong>Total<\/strong>\n          <\/td>\n<td style=\"max-width:39%;min-width:39%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;padding-right: 0;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">11.5%<\/td>\n<td style=\"max-width:41%;min-width:41%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;padding-right: 0;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">20.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Source: TransUnion U.S. Consumer Credit Database<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Student loans and their payment reporting are complex. More than one in five federal student loan borrowers with a payment due have been reported as seriously delinquent, but this figure may in fact be much higher,&#8221; said Michele Raneri, vice president and head of research at TransUnion. &#8220;The complexity arises in part from the various reasons borrowers might not be making payments without being considered delinquent, such as being a current student or in deferment or forbearance. We are continuing to analyze data to determine how many non-payers are at risk of being reported as seriously delinquent or default.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Across risk tiers, subprime saw the highest percentage of payment-due student loan borrowers seriously delinquent in February 2025, with 51% at 90+ DPD, up from 39% in February 2020.
