Menu Borrower Payment Options Behind In Your Payments? Life often has its ups and downs. We understand that sometimes there are circumstances that cause people to fall behind in their mortgage payments. Most of the time they can catch-up. However sometimes, despite their best efforts, they find themselves in a financial crisis. We may be able to help. Options to avoid foreclosure may be available to you through your lender or through Redwood Mortgage, as servicing agent for your lender.
