The short answer is because they are a servicer, they do not own your loan, they mearly collect the payment and any (late) fees. They make money by skimming off a piece of your payment from the producer, or owner of the loan. If you do not make your payment they make no money. It does not behove the servicer to participate in the HAMP program, because they do not get any benefit from reducing your payment, and if they did, all the government benefits go to the investor/owners of the loan first.

To reduce your mortgage payments you need to seek out a mortgage restructuring or loan modification plan with your lender. As it turns out now is a good time to do this as there are federal government incentives to help you reach your goal of 31%. The program is known as the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). First, you need to meet the qualifications for program. You can find these on several internet sites or through your lender. If you qualify, which seems likely in your case, you and the lender will work together to develop a plan that can include some or all of the following: lowering the mortgage rate, reducing the principle owed and restructuring your loan.
