Highlights of the data included in the report indicate:

  • Delinquent, non-tax debt increased during Federal fiscal year 2013 by nearly $50 billion (31%) to $212 billion versus 2012 totals.
  • The U.S. Department of Education’s total portfolio increased 18.2% during the same period, to $760.1 billion.  Delinquencies increased by 42.2%, to $170.8 billion, or more than 80.5% of all non-tax Federal delinquencies.
  • Private Collection Agencies (PCAs) collected $387.5 million during the same period.

The cover letter touts how the Bureau of the Fiscal Service collected a record $7 billion “at a relatively small cost to the Federal government — $58.37 are collected for every $1 spent.”  The letter does not attempt to quantify the lost revenue in dollars Federal agencies make no efforts to collect, such as tax delinquencies, which are now approaching $300 billion.
