Need some help please

I have debts around £16000.Last year i set-up an IVA which was due to commence in August[2011].Unfortunately,i did not have the money to start this so the IVA failed.
Obviously,creditors picked-up on this and i have started to receive letters and calls from them.
I have 2 ccjs and i have about 20 creditors in total.
I am not aware of any bankruptcy proceedings against me as yet.
Currently,i have been on sick-leave for three months and all i am receiving at the moment is SSP,plus some housing benefit and council tax benefit.
I need to do something as the pressure is increasing.
I have thought of writing to each creditor offering little or no payment?
I rent my property.I am in arrears at present with the rent although an arrangement is in place.
Any suggestions please.
Thanking you in advance.
