is it possible to get a home equity loan or to refinance while your already behind on your mortgage?

asked by brownetw - 4 Answers

we have about 20k worth of equity but we fell behind on our mortgage payments early this year and negotiated a plan to incorporate the amount we were behind into our normal monthly payments. making those payments a bit higher each month. that however is still not working because of all of our other bills and we want to use the equity to pay off a vehicle and a bunch of credit card debt etc... is that possible?
