Do this before the problem becomes major-- # STOP using the card, no matter what. Destroy the cards. # Pay off the balance in full immediately if possible, over time if necessary but in chunks that are MUCH bigger than the minimum payment suggested on bills. # When paid, cancel the account and any other card accounts you have. A little extreme, you say?
