My father co-signed for my home mortgage back in 2011, and now I’m trying to refinance and found out that he has debts in collections, and we were told that there is nothing we can do to refinance or even sell the house until those debts are paid off in full! So is there anything at all that I can do to get him off of the mortgage, legally?

I just received a money order in the mail from someone that I do not know, and I am unemployed and have been unemployed for almost two years.
