TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) released a survey revealing that federal student loan borrowers facing potential wage garnishment may prioritize student loan payments over credit cards and personal loans.

TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) has released a comprehensive analysis revealing a significant correlation between rising payment-to-income (PTI) ratios and mortgage delinquency rates. The study shows mortgage delinquencies have increased from 0.89% in Q2 2023 to 1.27% in Q2 2025.
The analysis, examining nearly 57 million mortgage consumers, demonstrates that increases in non-mortgage debt obligations, particularly in credit cards, HELOCs, and student loans, serve as early warning signs for potential mortgage defaults. Credit card PTI ratios rose from 2.18% to 2.33% throughout 2023, correlating with increased mortgage delinquency rates in the following year.
TransUnion recommends quarterly monitoring of consumer credit data to identify emerging risks before they manifest in traditional credit scores.
