More details to this question:
I'm being sued as we speak and I have no job at the moment. I lost my job due and became unable to pay bills and now my credit is horrible. I'd like to claim bankruptcy, but I'm not sure if I meet the requirements.

To answer your question, you meet the requirements. However, you might do better answering the suit and trying to settle each debt. $15,000 is not a lot of debt for a bankruptcy. The legal fees and long term credit consequences might be more than you could pay in a settlement.
