a reasonable time within which the debtor shall make good the default under the security
agreement and shall pay all costs of suit to date. If the debtor shows to the court, on or before

attorney or agent. The provisions of this section apply to the assignee or transferee of any
mortgagee or vendor and to the assignee or successor in interest of the mortgagor or vendee.
