The veteran's loan guaranty indebtedness was denied because his conduct in creating the debt did not constitute fraud, misrepresentation of a material fact, bad faith, or lack of good faith. However, it is not contrary to equity and good conscience to deny the waiver request.
The deciding factor: The veteran's conduct in creating the debt was marginally above that which would constitute fraud, misrepresentation of a material fact, bad faith, or lack of good faith in his dealings with the government.
