It is hard to get a good customer service representative to help understand options, and where to go from this point. I do need to call back and make sure I'm on the right path.

Communication is key. As long as you do this and work out a payment plan your good to go. They will work with you and figure out the best payment plan that works for both you and the loan comp.
