But who they blame isn't important beyond the fact that so many don't blame the student when appropriate. The account belongs to the student and the student is ultimately responsible that it is paid. 75% won't hold the student responsible or force them to be accountable. Now, there are times when the parent is at fault, and you would be amazed at how many of them try to shift blame in those instances as well.
Our collectors will tell you that of the delinquent accounts they have to collect on only roughly 5% accept responsibility.
As the years go on people take less and less personal responsibility. It's sickening to be honest. I remember asking parents all the time if they wanted their children to blame everyone else for their own short comings or take personal responsibility.... That sometimes got them to think and sometimes they would ask me if I was blaming them.
