Get some Breathing Space

Breathing Space is a free government scheme that gives you time to get debt advice and find a way to solve your debt problems. There are 2 options available:

Standard Breathing Space

This is where most creditors must stop collection and enforcement of your debts. They’ll have to freeze interest and charges on any debts, too. It lasts for 60 days, as long as you’re eligible. 

Mental Health Breathing Space 

This option gives you a period of respite from your debts. It’s available for anyone currently getting mental health crisis treatment certified by an Approved Mental Health Professional. Your creditors can’t contact you or take any action against you to recover the debt during this time. 

Managing a loved ones' account

If you hold a power of attorney, deputyship, or appointeeship, you can register to manage a loved one’s account on their behalf.

To learn more, call us on 0333 338 1012 or use Live Chat.

If you’re worried a vulnerable loved one’s taken out a contract with us without fully understanding what that means, please get in touch with our wellness team.

You can call them on 0333 338 1012 or email them at customerwellness@three.co.uk. When you get in touch, please give them as much information as possible, including account details, if you have them.
