We have a 1st mortgage & equity line of credit (maxed) and about $1500 revolving credit balances each month (not including utilities, food and incidentals) with not enough coming in to support it. Looking for a lender in hopes to refinance the 1st & ELOC with no avail. Thinking of asking our current lender to do a Mortgage Modification but not sure if we will qualify. We need to lower our 1st & ELOC to be able to start paying on the credit cards but it’s a lose, lose situation. My husband is talking bankrupcy…we’ve never been late on any payment but it’s now coming close. We have 2 kids & a beautiful home…I’m scared. I’ve been trying to get a job but no one is calling back. Even with that, what I’ll make will only cover groceries and gas for the month.
