You’ll be applying more new cards for the fresh line of credit to spend. There will be no end to this problem unless you settle all your outstanding credit card debts in full.

With so many credit card debts to clear, a debt consolidation loan could be an alternative to transferring all the credit cards balances into one loan with a longer repayment period. There are many financial banks that can provide you with such loans.
