(1) For a period of 15 days following exercise by the creditor of nonjudicial enforce- ment rights (s. 425.206) or issuance of process (s. 425.205) with regard to the collateral, the customer shall be entitled to redeem the goods by tendering: (a) The total of all unpaid amounts, including any unpaid delinquency or deferral charges due at the time of tender, without acceleration; plus (b) Performance necessary to cure any default other than nonpayment of amounts due; plus (c) Any court costs, filing and service fees, and bond premium charges incurred by the creditor; plus (cm) If a writing evidencing the consumer credit transaction so provides, expenses the creditor is entitled to recover under s. 422.413 (2g) (a) and (b); plus (d) Whichever of the following is less: 1. A performance deposit, in the amount of 3 scheduled installments, or minimum payments in the case of an open-end credit plan. 2. One-third of the total obligation remaining unpaid with respect to the consumer credit transaction. (2) Tender of the payment and performance pursuant to sub. (1) restores to the customer the customer’s rights under the agreement as though all payments and performance had been made as scheduled. (3) Upon such redemption, any process under which the collateral has been held shall be vacated, any pending action shall be dismissed, and the collateral shall be returned to the customer. (4) The performance deposit shall be held by the merchant to secure, and may be applied at any time to, the remaining obligations of the customer under the consumer transaction. (5) The existence of the deposit does not cure any subsequent default of the customer, and the deposit need not be credited to the customer’s account until the remaining unpaid balance of the transaction becomes equal to the deposit. In the event of a subsequent default, prepayment, or other occurrence (except deferral) which requires the computation under chs. 421 to 427 of the outstanding obligation of the customer, the deposit shall be credited to the amount paid for the purposes of such computation. (6) The creditor shall not dispose of the collateral or enter into a contract for the disposition of the collateral, until the expiration of the period for redemption provided in this section, unless the collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Upon the expiration of such period any disposition of the collateral shall be subject to subch. VI of ch. 409, except that the customer may be liable for a deficiency only to the extent provided in ss. 425.209 and 425.210.
