Your CC is high because your chlorine in combining with something (algae, bacteria, organic stuff). You need to get your FC up to "shock" levels according to the best guess chart for your CYA level and keep it there until you are able to hold chlorine overnight. Use bleach, 8.25% strength from walmart will raise your FC up about 3 ppm or so? (Sorry, my bleach calculator on my computer doesn't seem to be working!)
As far as your CH, for a vinyl pool you really don't need to worry about it, unless it is way too high, which your is not.
The one number you didn't post is your pH. That's an important one too.
