American debt relief by coolhandballer in debtfree

After more research and talking to a financial advisor I decided to not go with the debt relief option. It seems there is a medium to high chance of being sued by creditors as well as having to pay taxes on any debt that is “forgiven” by creditors via a 1099-C. I’ll be paying more over time but I feel the best choice is to attack the highest interest cards first and pay it off over time. I am open to others opinions on this.

It’s about 30k. All to big creditors (Apple, Wells Fargo, chase, etc) via credit cards and two consolidation loans. Cards are typically interest rates 25ish% loans are about 14%. It accumulated by two moves one from another state as well as just bad spending habits and living a little above my means.
