Default Too many credit cards! What to do???

I recently split up with my wife. While we were together she took care of the finances. During this time she applied for and received several credit cards in my name. Currently I have 5 or 6 cards none of them are any good at all. Low limits, high interest, fees O`Plenty.

My credit score now is pretty good, approaching 700. In the 680's right now.
What would be the best course of action to remedy the problems with these cards? Namely the fees and high interest.

Thanks!

I assume that you have a balance on these cards. If so, you want to get a card with a 0% interest balance transfer. Another option would be to call all the credit card companies and ask them to lower the interest ratesa nd wave all fees. If they refuse, pay off the balance and close the account.
