deny a loan, grant, loan guarantee, or loan insurance to a person that is or has been a debtor under this title
or a bankrupt or debtor under the Bankruptcy Act, or another person with whom the debtor or bankrupt has been
associated, because the debtor or bankrupt is or has been a debtor under this title or a bankrupt or debtor
under the Bankruptcy Act, has been insolvent before the commencement of a case under this title or during the
pendency of the case but before the debtor is granted or denied a discharge, or has not paid a debt that is
dischargeable in the case under this title or that was discharged under the Bankruptcy Act.
