    If you look in credit cards you will find your answer. Store cards are a type of credit.

    Look at balance transfers, or if you have a regular income and an ok credit history (you say you have charges so presumably not) then look at getting a Virgin card and balance transfering you debts to.

    Always pay above the min. payment in order to reduce your debts.

    Good luck with you debt ;)
