Student debt/bankruptcy

I'm a second year student struggling in the current credit crunch.. I lost a job before christmas which payed £64 a week as the company couldn't afford to employ us anymore. I'm now in serious difficulty I cannot find another job that fits around my studies- I've been to the job centre, the university job shop, been to a couple of interviews. I am overdrawn with my bank and I have no way to pay them back. We have received a gas/electricity bill for £95 between 7 of us. Without a job it is very hard to keep my head above water. I was hoping for some advice.
