Any suggestions on what I should do. I'm only current on two of them. I want to be out from under all of them and never get another one. I didn't realize how bad they are.

First make sure that the internet lenders are licensed in your state. A legitimate business can only add the charges allowed by your state laws. Most of the unlicensed companies charge excessive interests and fees. If your account is also full of such charges, you can get an idea about them not licensed in your state. If this happens, file your complaints with the local AG's office and the Dept. of Finance.

Ask the lenders to send you the statements of your loan accounts so that you know the latest status and figure out how much you need to pay more. If you have paid more than the allowed charges, insist on getting your account marked as 'paid in full'. Sample letters are everywhere in this forum. Pick one of them and edit it as per your requirements.
