Currently pay debt management company to pay creditors what would happen if I stopped paying would one of them make me bankcrupt. If so what would happen to the others that money is owed.

I don't think that would make you bankrupt. Don't you have to apply for bankrupcy? I'd think whoever the creditor is would come after you to recoup their losses.

Creditors have a pecking order - things like council tax and taxes owed the IR come first, followed by eldest debts.

erm to my knowledge they would send debt collectors out - then court - (after red letters etc) on't know after that, is there a prob with debt management? - if u can't afford the payments talk to them or CAB and see if they can renegotiate for u.

if you stopped paying they would send bailiffs out to repossess all your stuff

Upthewall - Are you in England?

In Scotland Bailiffs can only be used to recover Council Tax Debt. Nothing else.
