While it's possible that the debts have been paid, each month's filings with the FEC isn't available until about the 20th of the next, so the February numbers are about all we have.

From: Cafe, Election Central Hillary please pay these debts first

We've all heard the stories about Hillary Clinton's debt. The small businesses left to pick up the tab after Clinton came, saw and left an unpaid invoice.
Let's talk about the other folks she's stiffed.
The school districts, universities, cities, towns and non-profits.
You know, if I remember correctly from my own experience, Florida statutes require that all campaign expenditures be pre-paid. That's an idea that our reform-minded legislators might explore.
From Hillary Clinton's February FEC filing these are the numbers:
Clinton owes a total of $19,627.20 to 14 school districts with an average debt of $1401.94. The largest amount, $4411.05, is owed to Winnacunnet Cooperative School District in Hampton, New Hampshire.
She owes 7 colleges and universities a total of $19,983.48 with an average debt of $2854.78. The largest amount is owed to the athletic department of Southern New Hampshire University. She owes them $9542.80.
She owes 11 cities and towns a total of $13,184.63 with an average debt of $1198.60. She owes the town of Hampton, New Hampshire the most with a debt of $4628.96. (Hampton, NH gets hit twice.)
Lastly she owes the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sioux City and Blackhawk County Iowa a total of $1,625.00 with $1000 of that owed to the Boys and Girls Club of Blackhawk County.
Perhaps there's a reason the Clinton campaign would just as soon forget about the appearance at Winnacunnet on January 6, given the report next day in the Boston Globe
DURHAM, N.H. - Traveling around New Hampshire and Iowa in recent weeks, Hillary Clinton has been telling and retelling one particularly moving story about bringing together Catholic and Protestant women in Northern Ireland. The account makes the case that she not only has a deep knowledge of American foreign policy but also has actually helped end violence and conflict.
[...]
More than an isolated stump speech snippet, her Northern Ireland story speaks to the larger issue of whether her travels around the world as first lady qualify as serious diplomacy. That experience is a crucial element of her argument that she is the most qualified presidential candidate, and it has drawn fire from her rivals.
"In those years in the White House I had a really extraordinary experience, because I was not only part of the domestic policy team and the diplomatic team we had in those years, but I was also able to help make some of those changes," Clinton said Saturday in Durham.
In that retelling, Clinton said she had hosted a meeting of enemies in the conflict. They had never been in the same room before, and "no one thought this was going to be a very good idea."
[...]
The story she told Saturday took place at Belfast's city hall, while the story in her book took place in a fish restaurant.
