Once you become subject to this APR for delinquency, we may change your APR back to the respective APRs for your Account but only if you bring your Account current and then pay at least the Minimum Amount Due by the Payment Due Date or the payment due date, as applicable, for six (6) consecutive Billing Cycles. Any other variable or fixed APR that would otherwise apply to new and outstanding Account balances will change to this fixed APR for Delinquency.
