Selected answer:If you do it again (default on the debt), we may not be so generous.
Explanation:
As I see it, they are being kind to you and letting you continue paying after a lapse. They are just saying this is a one-time situation and if you lapse again, they are not required to let you continue paying, they will take other action.
