Furthermore, a mortgage guaranty insurance company shall not use compensating balances, special deposit accounts or engage in any practice which unduly delays its receipt of moneys due or which involves the use of its financial resources for the benefit of any owner, mortgagee of the real property or any interest therein or any person who is acting as agent, representative, attorney or employee of such owner, purchaser or mortgagee as a means of circumventing any part of this section.
