Help !! Payment freeze coming to an end and company wants to charge me 3 months missed payments ???

Can someone please help me ! 
I have a credit card with Sainsburys bank and had to take a 3 month payment holiday freeze due to loosing my job with Corona Virus . 
They have just contacted me to let me know that my payments will be start next month which I’m happy and able to start paying again . 
But my first payment is the 3 months that I have missed ?? Coming over over £300 

Is this correct ? I was aware that you will need to pay the interest that have added up over the 3 month payment holiday term but not the payment holiday payments ? 

Anyone with advice or help ?

    Have you spoken to anyone to see if you can make partial repayments? I think they aren’t doing anything incorrect though
  • Hi thanks They never gave me any other options just said that was it ? I’m just on hold to them again as I don’t feel that is right .
