What should my next step be?

I have been wokring hard at getting credit cards paid off and finally have it done.  And was finally approved for a Capital One Venture Card with a $5000 CL. I feel like I am on top of the world right now...lol.

Anyways, I am not sure what to do next.  I know I need to go in loan payment mode and not worry about other credit cards at the moment. I don't need anymore. I have quite a few subprime cards with annual fees that I would like to dump but part of me is scared too in case some disaster happens and I need the credit line but I know better than to make fear based decisions. The flip side is that the cards also bring up average age of credit.

Here's my current profile of what I have right now

 

Credit One: 0/1450 - 3 yrs 8 mths
Capital One Plat - 0/850 - 4 yrs 3 mths

Capital One QS - 21/750 - 4 yrs 4 mths (just combined the 2 cap ones to the QS card)

Merrick - 6/1100 - 2 yrs 6 mths

Barclay (Frontier) - 0/1800 - 11 months

Paypal - 0/500 - 1 yr 8 mths

Fingerhut - 0/2250 3 yr 3 mths

Kohls - 0/300 - 2yrs 2 mths

CareCredit - 0/500 - 11 mths

Tires Plus - CFNA - 0/1200  - 2yrs 9mths

Walmart - 0/700 - 1 yr 9mths

Capital One Venture - 0/5000 - brand new

 

Lending Point Loan -  current balance 12422

Student Loans - a bazillion dollars. I jsut recently got out of rehabilitation and still have a bunch of old "accts" showing as late and not paying as agreed)

Bankruptcy - file date 09/13. Discharged in 01/14

12 hard inquiries

 

Thanks in advance
