Hi jesse,

If you stop paying the second mortgage, the lender will have the right to charge off the loan. Once the lender charges off the loan, a collection agency will collect the dues from you. This will have a bad effect on your credit report. Apart from this, it will stay in your credit report for the next 7 years as any other negative items.

If you are facing hardship, you should contact your lender and apply for a loan modification. The lender will judge your situation and then decide whether he would accept your request or not.
