The Board denied the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of his U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) home loan guaranty indebtedness, reducing it from $21,874.92 to $14,449.92 due to a foreclosure sale and determined that the debt was validly incurred.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of fraud, misrepresentation or bad faith on the part of the veteran, but concluded that the creation of the indebtedness was not against equity and good conscience as it did not result in undue financial hardship for the veteran.
