You can not deny credit to everyone living on a particular street simply
because there are a couple of deadbeats in the neighborhood.

What you are saying is to deny someone credit because their neighbor does
not pay their bills.

I do not think this will go far. The parctice is called "redlining" in
the US and is illegal.
