Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

A lawyer took me to court over money she felt I owed her. The judge dropped several hundred dollars off of her claimant and set a judgment of $1,776 and court costs. I could only pay her $75 a month. I paid the judgment in its entirety and $150 in court costs. She placed a 9% interest on the payments which I did not agree to. Am I legally obligated to pay the interest that she set forth?
