It is almost all from a cash advance I used to buy a car.
Ouch. Well, that was not a smart money decision at all. Sell the car and pay that thing off as quickly as possible. You can not afford to pay a 19% interest rate on anything if you want to be in good financial shape.

If nothing else, transfer the balance to a 0% interest card and pay down as much as you can before the promo period runs out. Then, if need be, do it again. Even if you have to do it twice, the amount paid will only be 4-5% of the balance transfer, which will hopefully be lower if you have to do it a second time.
Or, refi the car for the amount that it's worth (not sure if you can do a cash out refi on a car), and pay off the CC with that.
