The Board denied the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of a VA home loan guaranty indebtedness, finding that he was at fault in creating the debt and that collection would not be against equity and good conscience.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of fraud or bad faith on the part of the veteran but determined that he was at fault for defaulting on his mortgage payments and allowing foreclosure to occur. The Board also noted that there was no undue hardship shown, as the veteran had not provided updated financial information.
