Debtors prison ceased to exist in the 18th century. Have you considered bankruptcy?

Contact them and explain your situation. See if they will work with you. Sometimes you may be able to reach an agreement of a lower balance and/or lower monthly payments. They would rather have something than nothing. You will likely find some will be happy to work with you, other won't.

As ScottGem said, bankruptcy can sometimes be the best option in certain circumstances. Check into the pros and cons... speak to the creditors directly, and decide what will be best for your situation.
