I won't suggest you to take a loan from your IRA account. Rather, you can contact your lender and apply for a loan modification. If your loan is modified, the lender would lower your interest rate. Thus, your monthly payments would be lowered which will make it easier for you to pay off the loan. As far as your credit card debts are concerned, you should contact your lender and try to consolidate them and pay them off.
