    Straight to the point, cancel your credit cards if you cannot control your spending. By so doing, you seize to spend beyond your means. Another strategy would be to track all your expenses to identify what you can cut down on or out completely. On a final note, curb your impulse buys and stop eating out in restaurants but do more cooking.

Can I borrow cash to a credit card?

Yes it is possible to withdraw money from a credit card if it has the option of cash advance.

How do I fix the errors in my newly applied credit card?

First of all stop right there, dont spend money you dont have, especially as grand as a car youd be stuck in debt before you even know it. Second you cant apply for multiple credit cards because companies keep track of those on your behalf, a bank isnt going to leave you credit that easy, you have to be reliable first to be able to pay for the credit that you borrow, my advice would be to hold off on all the spending and instead just save and invest.
