Defaulting on student loans is a civil debt. Filing fraudulent tax returns is a crime. I have never heard of someone being extradited or having their passport cancelled for defaulting on a civil debt (probably because governments have no direct interest in civil debts per se)
But student loan debt is almost entirely held by the federal government now. Does this mean it's still civil debt? I'm inclined to think that it isn't.
