High interest should not hurt your credit, but does affect your ability to pay your balance off. I have to assume that the interest rates are high because you may have made a payment late at some point, or there is another issue elsewhere. To get yourself out of this situation, I suggest that you consider working a part-time or weekend job, applying all the net earnings from that job towards the balance. In time, the interest rate will drop, and you'll be able to drop the additional work. You didn't get yourself into this situation overnight, or maybe you did, but it will take some hard work to change things.
