How do I "go Bankrupt"?

I'm sick sick sick,
I was repossessed a year ago, was made redundant 7 months ago and my wife is disabled on High Rate mobility DLA.
Now I have creditors after me for monies owing from £60 to £25000 (repossession shortfall from GE Money), some of these are alledged debts which were unable to be proven and passed on to other companies.
Obviously I cannot afford to go bankrupt so is there anyway I can do this without having to pay the £500 or so quid it takes to get these people off my back?
As it stands I have no assets, car house, valuables.

thanks
