Have you used your VA eligibility? The VA will allow you to refinance. The will allow a cash-out refinance up to 90% of your homes value at normal market rates.
There are options that would allow the lender to cover your closing costs for you as well.
I have handled many VA loans. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best wishes,
John

I am not a loan/finance pro, so verify what I say, but...
#1 - To be clear, you will not be "paying off debt" if you use the proceeds of a cash-out refi to pay off the cards. You will be "transferring" debt, getting better rates but longer terms - which hopefully results in relief in monthly cash flow.
#2 - Credit card debt is typically unsecured. Paying it off with a cash-out refi on your home secures that debt with your house.

John has a good point. Have your credit card debt paid off at closing with the loan proceeds. If you have your VA entitlement you should get a rate below 4% assuming your credit is decent.
I am assuming your credit card rates and current home loan rates are on the high side. You will want an analysis to determine your blended rate.
You MUST cut up your credit cards if you do refinance. It does you no good to start new credit card debt if you do this.
If I can be of any further help shoot me an e-mail or give me a call.
Best of luck,
Doug
