I used to be in a Covid forbearance program and I am now able to resume payments. The lender sent paperwork and loan modification and I don’t understand why there are escrow payments and a $20k junior lien added to my principal? by dannyboy226 from Atlantic Beach, Florida. May 4th 2022

Forbearance means "pause", not forgiveness. You have to make up the payments somehow, somewhere. A common practice is to take any back missed payments and turn them into a new 2nd mortgage (junior lien).
