My ex used an agency called "CCCS" which helped her tremendously with a multitude of debts. There are many not-for-profit agencies who help people in your situation. It won't erase your debt nor will it help your credit at first, but it will get creditors off your back, possibly reduce or eliminate interest, and make it much less likely that you end up in a courtroom.
Try googling CCCS or just "Credit Counseling."
