Sec. 3. This chapter does not take away or lessen the effect of any payment made by any person. However, no endorsement or memorandum of any payment made: (1) upon any instrument of writing; and (2) by or on behalf of the party to whom the payment is purported to be made; is considered sufficient to exempt the case from this chapter.
