The answer

It is obligatory for you to repent to Allah for dealing with interest-based banks. As for paying off interest-based debts, it is permissible to deal with an Islamic bank that adheres to Sharia guidelines through tawarruq, by purchasing a commodity from them at an installment price, then selling it and using its proceeds to pay off your debts.
