It sounds like you signed a lease-purchase agreement. If so, the provisions of that agreement should prevail. If the agreement provides for interest payments, then the judge was probably right. this is a situation where you should definitely consult with a local attorney to determine what your options are, and whether you should appeal the judge's order.
