What do I tell Creditors pre BR?

Morning all
We are going BR end Aug/Sept just getting organised. We are getting letters and calls from creditors and I am trying to hold them off without telling them of our plans for BR.
I have just written to all of them telling them we are seeing CAB on Monday and I enclosed a financial statement showing them we can only afford £1 token payments to each at moment, which i put £1 chqs in each. I also sent the post recorded delivery.
What I am worried about is I included details of all our debts and who we owe to on this statement and now I think I shouldnt have told them how much we owe and who the other creditors are? Do you think i am worrying for nothing? Is this likely to speed up legal action from them? I just want to buy some time before we go BR. I am not answering the phone just doing all correspondence in writing, tbh I feel sick every time the phone rings.:(
