Your finances need to be balanced. You are NOT going to get a loan mod if your credit cards are current. Get over it. You can’t afford anything anyhow. Let the credit cards go. If you still cant make ends meet you will probably qualify for a loan mod. Still crying about your 31% Obama loan mod? Get over it too. Americans have been living outside their means for decades. You owe 10k more than what the home is worth? Suck it up.
