Subsequent redemptions. Any redemption made under Sections 12-132 through 12-136 of this Act, by any judgment creditor, his or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns after the expiration of 3 months and within 6 months after the original sale, is subject to subsequent redemption within 6 months after the date of the original sale by any defendant, his or her heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, or any person interested in the premises through or under the defendant, in the manner provided in this Section. In the event there is a redemption by any defendant, his or her heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, or any person interested in the premises through or under the defendant, in accordance with Section 12-122 or this Section 12-137, the right to further redemption by any judgment creditor, his or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, is terminated, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act.
