Credit card interest rate

in Credit cards
Hello I have 3 credit cards with an outstanding balance of around 3000 pounds. One card has 2000 pound , its with Aqua and its got a high-interest rate, I've actually paid more back than I owe because of this interest over the last few years..I'm on furlough so my wages have gone down to just three days a week because of the contract I'm on but would normally be working 5 days at this time of year. so I'm losing quite a bit of money.
Ive spoke to aqua explaining this and they have put a payment freeze on the card but the interest is still going to be put on and I fear its going to put me right back where I started or an even worse position.
Ive tried to get them to freeze the interest payments, and also tried to get a balance transfer card but the answer to both of these was no.
Im starting to feel the only way I can survive now is to default on the credit card.
any advice would be most welcome.
Thank you

If the payment holidays aren't enough then yes, you will need to default.0
