A little update with the bank, they are now telling me that they aren't even going to consider a settlement or a short sale unless the past due 14 contractual payments (around 8-10k) are paid.

I was a JTAC for 21 years, retired in 2008.Since you don't tell us where you currently are in your education/journey, I'll share some beginner advice.1.
