Call your lender, ask to speak with someone in their "work out" department, and ask to renegotiate the following terms: 1) a lower principal, 2) a lower interest rate, and 3) a longer amortization period (especially if they won't go for lowering the principal).

Mary;

Sorry to mhear about you lender issues. A lot of lenders today are happy to work with you...it is xheaper than foreclosing on a home. Who is your lender? If it is a major one, I may be able to give you a contact....you should be able to do a loanmod yourself....don't pay an outside service.
