Had to go through that like 5 years ago.
Start using a credit monitoring service like freecreditreport.com, at least you'll know whats going on at all times.
Look at all our debts (other than credit cards) -- pay those off first.
Get into some kind of plan to pay off credit cards. If you have to work another job to help pay them off, then do it!
