Can you tell me how do I get from under all my debt and build a retirement account so that I won't become a burden? I was divorced in 2000. I started to accumulate debt immediately trying to support myself and two children. Moved to Maryland in 2003, debt continued to increase to the sum of 28,000 in credit card and 25,000 in student loan. I have about 25,000 in a 401 and 4,000 in a 403. My retirement account has lost about $10,000 how do I stop the loss? How do I grow? I have two mortgages (6.7 & 7.7) should I combine them?

I am in big trouble with credit cards debts, which the amount is about $25,000 with the interest in them. I stopped paying them back in 2003-2004. Now I am trying to get back on track, as you will know all of them are in collection, two of them are already in judgment, which have become a public record. I started dealing with some collection and I have paid one off. Now my question is, should I keep making deals with those collection agencies and especially what should I do with the ones already in judgment?
