    Unfortunately, the arrears will have lead to additional charges on the accounts (usually £12 each) and the minimum payments on your next statement will also include the amount of the missed payments. You really need to find some funds before you get into a debt spiral.

    Edit
    If you have any savings then now would be a good time to use them to save yourself a fortune in charges.
