There is a difference between loan modification and refinance. The former may be effected by a Chapter 7 discharge, while the latter should not. If you obtained a discharge without reaffirming the debt, some mortgage companies will refuse to consider a loan modification. Based on your description, it does not seem likely you are referring to a loan modification as that will only be considered if you are delinquent. You stated you are current and have always been so.
By contrast, a refinance does not necessarily involve the existing lender as you can obtain a new loan from any willing new lender. If your existing mortgage company refuses to consider a refinance based on the lack of reaffirmation, the simple solution is to seek another lender.
I trust this answers your questions but do not hesitate to call or email me on a free initial basis.
