I don't know what you mean by "go with someone else".  Do you mean a different lender?  If they are behind on their mortgage payments, they can use a Chapter 13 bankruptcy to catch up on the past due amounts over a period of time (usually 60 months), as long as they can stay current with their ongoing mortgage payments.  Of course they must have sufficient income to do all that.  They need to have a consultation with a bankruptcy attorney in their area.
