(a) Any nonresident person to whom a sum is due by judgment, shall appear at the office where such judgment is recorded, within 30 days after a notice has been given to the person to whom the sum is due, by the person owing such sum by judgment, to receive satisfaction, and at the same time enter satisfaction on the record of such judgment. If the nonresident neglects or refuses to appear in person or by power of attorney within the time specified, then the person owing the sum by such judgment may deposit the amount due upon such judgment, in any state or national bank having its principal place of business in the State, subject to the order of such nonresident. The cashier of the bank shall give to the depositor a certificate stating the amount deposited in the name of the nonresident and upon the presentation of this certificate, at the office where such judgment is recorded, the officer in charge of such office shall enter full satisfaction upon the record, and shall write upon the record the manner in which the judgment is satisfied, and shall retain the certificate or a duplicate of the same in the office. (b) A notice, by mail or by person, to a nonresident creditor shall be deemed and taken as sufficient notice. This section, however, shall not bar any nonresident from correcting any errors or omissions in any payments due to such nonresident by suit or otherwise.
