Just starting - Need Help! Where to begin?

I am just now bouncing back from unemployment and trying to fix my credit.  The problem is I don't know where to begin!  I pulled my Equifax report and the following has been reported:

 

  1. Collection Acct - AFNI, Inc. balance 162, amount due 162, date opened N/A, date reported 04/2008, date of first dilinquincy 08/05
  2. Charge off account/Acct closed by credit grantor - Bloom/DSNB.  balance 900, amount due 900, date opened 12/2008 date reported 12/2010, date of first del 06/2010
  3. Charge off account/Acct closed by credit grantor - Capital ONe.  balance 1,142, amount due 1,142, date opened 08/2007, date reported 09/2011, date of first del 11/2010
  4. Charge off account - Chase.  balance 0, amount due 0, date opened 2/2008 date reported 11/2010, date of first del 04/2010
  5. Charge off account - Ikea.  balance 491, amount due 121, date opened 8/2008 date reported 08/2011, date of first del 10/2010
  6. Charge off account - HSBC.  balance 0, amount due 0, date opened 5/2008 date reported 10/2010, date of first del 10/2010
  7. Collection account - Midland Credit Management. balance 3164, amount due 3164, date opened 11/2010, date of first del 03/2010
  8. Charge off account - USAA savings bank.  balance 5,581, amount due 1,774, date opened 03/1998 date reported 09/2011, date of first del 04/10.  I would really like to keep this/resolve with USAA as I have had it for so long.

Any help on where to begin and how to approach would be much appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
