A) Curious how you managed to convince a second mortgage lender to extend debt 12 grand beyond the value of your home ?

B) Minor modifications in your monthly finances would take decades to bear fruit. What you could do is switch your first mortgage to an "interest-only mortgage", which would SUBSTANTIALLY reduce your monthly payments, then you could use the difference to pay down the second mortgage. Then you could refinance the first mortgage back to a regular mortgage.
