What should I do?

Hi, so I recently got a second job and I should have around 800-1000 spare money after all my bills and living expenses have been paid at the end of each month. I'm currently about £8000 In debt: 3 accounts with Lowell - very catalogue £3006, capital one card £608 and an EE mobile account £693. All defaulted and I haven't paid a penny since Lowell took over them. I also have a Tesco credit card £2600 defaulted and an EDF bill at £1000. I got myself into this mess around 2018 and just couldn't keep up with repayments so I just stopped paying everything and left it. I'm now in a position to re pay everything and I'm just wondering would it be best to just throw as much money as possible at each debt one at a time or a bit to each? Any suggestions of the best way to proceed? 
Thank you 👍
