New York (CNN Politics) Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was hit with another lawsuit Tuesday claiming she failed to cancel student debt owed by people whose for-profit colleges have been shut down.

The new lawsuit comes a month after a federal judge ruled that the regulation should immediately go into effect, after more than a year of what he called " arbitrary and capricious " delays by DeVos.

The new complaint was filed by the Housing and Economic Rights Advocates, a California-based legal service nonprofit group. It claims that the Department of Education is continuing to collect on loans that it should be discharging under an Obama-era rule.

"Under current leadership, the Department of Education seems determined to deny student borrowers the financial relief to which they are entitled," said Aaron Ament, the president of the National Student Legal Defense Network, which is helping represent the plaintiff.
