past due accounts

For me, it sounds better if you refer to the account, not the student. The idea is the same though. If you wanted to use students you could say:
students with late fees

On a separate note, I wouldn't use defaulter- that's usually used when talking about the foreign debt of a country, not an individual person. Slow payer doesn't indicate being late, just slow.

Suerte,

students with fees unpaid/ fees unpaid (by students)


Some options...it is a bit tricky, it depends what comes afterwards on the page, is it names and numbers(in that case I would take the first option or some of the other options given by the previous answers). If it is just numbers I would take the second.

Hope it helps you!
