Delinquent Borrowers

LOS ANGELES--The U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles has sued 90 people in an attempt to collect delinquent federal loans to college students. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported this week.

Most of the 90 lawsuits involve loans made to students through the U.S. Department of Education or the Veterans Administration, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Hugh W. Blanchard.

The defendants include business executives, lawyers, physicians, and other professionals. Blanchard said the government would seek to attach the wages and bank accounts of those who do not repay their loans.
