Hi Idabonner, Refinancing in todays current conditions can be challenging, but may not be impossible. My first suggestion would be to contact the mortgage servicer where you send your payments. They will have interest in whether you are able to make your loan payments or not. It would definitely be a start. In addition our clients have seen success in refinancing though RLCA with Scott Sorin. He is local to Memphis and if he can't help you with the refinance he will be able to give you honest advice on the next step. His information is below. Hope this information is helpful to you...Lindsay

You need to contact a credit specialist (an accredited one) who can educate you on strategies for maximizing your credit scores and lowering some of your ratios. This will not be a magical wand and it will take effort on your part. In the Memphis area, one that comes to mind is Mid-South Credit Care. Their email is info@midsouthcredit.com and their # is 901-531-7075. This is completely legal and they follow the guidelines and rules set forth by the "Fair Credit Reporting Act". Try them.

Hello Idabonner,

Has any lender given you a scenario where you pay off some of that debt through the refinance? Check and see if that is possible. The lending market is tight these days. We are still dealing with the aftermath of the "Mortgage Meltdown" of 2007. Banks are dealing with too many Foreclosures and they are just much stricter than before. Don't give up until you have spoken to a few people.
Good Luck
