Notice Default in Promissory Note

When a person borrows money from a lender, he agrees to return the debt in a specific period of time or in a specific manner i.e. short monthly installments and signs a promissory note that states he owes certain amount of money and the creditor has the right to collect the debt by all means if the debtor denies to repay the debt or goes bankrupt. When this actually happens and a debtor goes default on his payments of the promissory note, the creditor has every right to take legal action against him or include the guarantor as the responsible for the bad debt but before that, the creditor is legally obligated by the local laws and clauses of the promissory note to formally inform the debtor one last time and ask him to return the debt in a certain period of time i.e. 1 week or 1 month.
