I didn't have to use anyone else's name or anything like that. Banks typically will finance within a certain % of the book value. I was upside down a couple thousand, but because I was within they tolerance the refinanced for me.

That was way back in 2006 though before the current financial crisis. Banks are probably far more cautious and strict. Bottom line, just call your own personal bank and see what they can do for you.
I did the same thing, same differences as well, except for I wasn't upside down. Basically cut one year out of the loan and payment went down a little.
