Contact a debt counseling organization. They can help you formulate a plan and may even be able to negotiate lower rates with the credit card companies.Regarding Aruna L's post below: No reputable businessperson has a hotmail email address. Avoid.

You made your bed, now sleep in it. Good luck.

Yes, contact a debt counseling organization by all means. They are well equipped to deal with this type of thing.
