A  payment  on  account  of  a  mortgage  indebtedness,  or   instalment  thereof or interest thereon, which is effective to revive an   action to recover such indebtedness, instalment or interest or to extend   the time limited for such action, is  also  effective,  between  persons   described  in  subdivision two of this section, to make the time limited   for commencement of an action to foreclose the  mortgage  run  from  the   date of payment, unless the payment is accompanied by written disclaimer   of intention to affect the time limited for foreclosure of the mortgage.2.  A  payment on account of the indebtedness secured by a mortgage of   real property as defined in section 17-105, or a mortgage of a lease  of   real  property,  or  on  account  of  an  instalment thereof or interest   thereon, is effective as provided in this section:a. as against (1) the person  who  made  it,  to  the  extent  of  any   interest   held  by  him  at  the  date  thereof,  and  (2)  any  person   subsequently acquiring from him any such interest, without giving  value   or with actual notice of the making of the payment, to the extent of the   interest so acquired; andb.  in  favor of (1) the mortgagee or his assignee, and (2) any person   who, after the date of the payment, succeeds or  is  subrogated  to  the   interest  of  either  of  them  in the mortgage or otherwise acquires an   interest in the enforcement of the mortgage.If the payment is made before expiration of the time limited  for  the   commencement  of the action, it is also effective against any subsequent   purchaser of the interest of the person who made  the  payment,  to  the   extent  of  the interest that the person who made the payment had at the   time thereof.3. No payment described in subdivision one of  this  section  has  any   greater  effect, with respect to the time limited for foreclosure of the   mortgage, than that provided in this section.
