    If they are not your charges you must call the credit card company and file a dispute of those charges! That's first and foremost ASAP!

    I offer you this very good article to consider also,

    Agreed, if you are getting a lot of charges, stop using the card.

    If they are not yours, contest them, order a new card, cancel old one and not pay them.

    You can not normally negotiate anything until you are about 3 months behind on payments and they are ready to start legal action. Then you may be able to make a reduced payment amount, if you can pay the entire reduced amount. If not they will just take payments
