They will not reduce your mortgage payment. The only way to reduce it is to refinance. A refinance is getting a new mortgage on your house with better (at least that is the goal) terms including a better interest rate and lower payments. If you do not have the money to refinance to pay closing costs, etc. then you should either list your home with a realtor or sell it to an investor. I suggest you list it first because even if your home is not sold and you start getting backed up on mortgage payments and the bank starts to foreclose on you it is easier for an investor to negotiate a short sale with the bank (it's more proof you're in duress).
