So paying the creditor would not stop the interest unless that continency was covered in the disposition.

Can a lender charge you interest in Illinois on the remaining balance of a car repossessed?

The lender can charge you interest on the LOAN, as long as it is not charged off. Once the loan is charged off, the account is essentially closed.

And these do not stop mounting after the judgment is granted. It just keeps going.
