Please don't feel worthless, your debts can all be sorted. Have you taken advice on what to do? How much debt do you think you have. If you choose bankruptcy, don't worry if you miss anyone off the forms, they'll still be included.
Please speak to an expert and chat through everything.

I agree with Viki that you should speak to an expert. BR could be an option but you really do need to take some advice.

If you have less than £20 per month disposable income (after your normal bills have been paid) then the chances are that you won't have to pay anything across.
Unless you bank with HSBC or First Direct then you should be fine.

If they are statute barred and you have not acknowledged them then they cannot contact you.
If you speak to an expert they will give you free advice.
If you declare BR then all debts will be included but do pick up the phone to check.

With your level or debt and your situation, it does sound like bankruptcy could be your best option. As well as your visit to the CAB,I suggest you also have a chat to an expert.
Have you got an appointment with a money advisor at the CAB tomorrow?
