Bought a house two yrs ago, not over the top. Had a subprime mortgage that I was set to refi at the end of the period (2yr) not for seeing the market crash. Now I am being held at much higher standards to refi then I was to even get the original loan ! I lost equity and my credit is now suffering from having to use my savings to make ends meet. Mortgage company told me they would rather have my house then help me..What can I do ??

I suggest consulting with an attorney familiar with the foreclosure prevention process.
