CCJ and charging orders

[FONT=&quot]I have a substantial figure of unsecured debt (personal loan and credit cards) which I am still currently making the minimum repayments for. However, the "day of reckoning" will come soon and I will no longer be able to make the minimum repayments.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I do not own property or a car, having both rented and stayed with family thus I am linked to a few different addresses over the last 5 years. I have a very straightforward question (which I'm aware is thinking considerably too far ahead): given 100% of the debt is unsecured with no guarantor (I also have no assets) and I am the SOLE debtor, surely no one else could get dragged into this legally?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]My biggest worry is creditors trying to chase family at addresses for my unsecured debts. Of course I'm aware that letters will be sent to those addresses but surely I am the only one who is legally responsible for these debts?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I would appreciate answers from those who have a concrete legal understanding or experience of this, not someone speculating as to what may or may not happen.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Thank you and any guidance is much appreciated.
