If they want to make you pay more and you do not agree you should, they must take out a further court claim.
National Debtline have a factsheet on interest after judgement

You need the court to provide you with the original claim details and the wording of the judgement if you do not have these items in your possession. If there's no mention of interest then keep paying until the balance is paid, then have the argument. Don't assume that a 'solicitor' knows anything.
