bankruptcy and bailiffs

i am in the process of making myself bankrupt. i have filled the forms etc and am trying to raise the court fees. i am doing this by attempting to get a grant from local energy company as suggested by yourselves. however, this takes time. meanwhile i havent been able to pay debts....the most worrying debt being for council tax which is collected by the bailiffs. i have just received a default notice from them asking me to ring them so that they dont carry out walking possession which i was stupid enough to sign.
how do i hold them off long enough to get my bankruptcy sorted?

    Hi

    If a liability order has been issued, I do not think the CT debt is included in your BR, so you need to get hold of Herbie21 urgently. PM her.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
