Young, Stupid & worried

Hi Guys (&Gals),
Looking for some advice.....
I was stupid when I was a young buck, and got myself into quite a bit of debt quite fast, 2 or credit cards, mobile phones & loans.
I seriously tried to get this sorted 3 years back prior to the birth of my son, and for 12 months, paid into a Debt Management plan offered by Harrington Brooks (AllClear finance), But after this 12 months, i started asking questions and the company 'lost interest' in me.
I was paying £250 a month, which was brilliant, but i was not getting regualr statements, and when I did, there wasn't a whole lotta change after all payments had gone out, even after 12 months!
The company stopped contacting me, and the creditors did....
I am now out of work, failed business venture
I live off my partners income, luckily, we do not pay rent as I live in my mothers second house.
I claim dole, which I hate, and getting back into the rat race is proving difficult.
I currently owe approx. £9k, and have no way to pay any of it back.
Would you say BR is the way forward?
Or am I being a little pesimistic?
Any help would be appreciatted.
