What happens if you stop paying a lease agreement, and a furniture payment?

My husband was out of work 3 months. And we are behind on mortgage, and all other bills. We put on for a modification. But since my husband is back at work they will not help us. So now they are saying they might do a repayment plan, which would double our payment. If that happens we can not afford double the house payment and our other bills. I hate to not pay and mess up our credit. But I don't want to lose our house. We have a furniture bill. And a lease item that is worth $400. And we also have an alarm system payment that we have a contract on. These would be 3 things we might start with. The furniture is a refrigerator that we need, and the lease is a water heater. Both things we needed. Has anyone had this happen, and what did you end up doing? We don't have any family to help us out.

    From your other question, it does not sound like your husband has two jobs. So one of you should get a second job. Since you both can't work 2 fulltime jobs with a child, figure out how to make money at home.

    Start selling things that are not necessities, like the $400+ tablet you didn't need to purchase. Or return it, if it's still within the return period.

    Additionally, you might consider selling the house since renting is cheaper. Even before your husband's injury you did not have an emergency fund.
