&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
(1)  Figure out how much you owe.&lt;br /&gt;
(2)  Keep the two credit cards with the lowest rates.&lt;br /&gt;
(3)  If you don&#039;t have a credit card with a interest rate of 14% or lower, get one.&lt;br /&gt;
(4)  Make a honest effort to refrain from using your cards over the next six months.&lt;br /&gt;
(5)  Add up your mimimum monthly payments.&lt;br /&gt;
(6)  Calculate how much you can pay over the minimum amount.&lt;br /&gt;
(7)  Apply all of your additional repayments to the card with the highest rates.&lt;br /&gt;
(8)  Consolidate your debt.&lt;br /&gt;
(9)  Pay the mimimum on your lowest rate cards.&lt;br /&gt;
(10) Consider using your savings to get out of debt.&lt;br /&gt;
(11) Consider Bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt;
(12) Consider Debt Consolidation.&lt;br /&gt;
(13) Consider Debt Counseling.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
