There are credit companies that can help you consolidate debt in to one monthyl payment. And in SOME cases they are the best idea, but you can look in too a personal loan from your bank. Often times they will have lower interest rates.

ALSO, if yu own a house see how much equity you have built up in to your house. You can borrow against that which will just put you back further in how long you have till you pay off the house.

I dont reccommend filing bankrupcy. Try these things and call a credit counsler. They can assess your situation

start with the highest % and make big payments on that one and do that with each debt..and slowly lower the other debt.

Yes you can always file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy which is where you have declared that you are unable to pay for pre-existing debts, but you must make arrangments to pay off your debt in a certain amount of time with a certain amount of money. If you want to go a different route, find a debt consolidation company. That is what they specialize in. Make sure to find a legit company, some are very shady, will take money, and will never put towards your debts. Another cut credit cards, etc. Only keep ones that you truely need for emergencies. If you are spending more than what you make, then you have another issue to address. I hope this helps!

Get a job...if you have one get another.


do it movin'
dude why is the apr% so high?

there's no easy way to pay that off.. all i can tell you is work work work.. you don't want that hanging with you forever.. find a 2nd job if you have to

i paid a 23k loan in 3 years w/ a 6.9% apr.. i was throwing about 600 a month.. it might take a little longer with the rate you have


?
Sounds to me like you need to have them closed. If you aren't willing to close them and go through a debt management program, you better get a second job..and maybe a third and fourth. Eventually, you'll realize that life is not about how many cards you have or the things you own, if you don't work yourself to death first.
