Surprised to see additions to my loan principal after forbearance

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 Reply

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).
