40% of Students Not Complying with Student Loan Payments
--------------------------------------------------------

And new data shows more than 40 percent of people with federal student
loans in the United States are either behind on their payments or are
refusing to pay entirely-a noncompliance rate that is raising serious
questions about the federal government's ability to ever collect on
these debts. One in six people have defaulted entirely. The average
student loan debt for last year's college graduates was more than
$35,000, making the class of 2015 the most indebted class in U.S.
history.
