In need of help

My problem is that I was sued by WW&R but we did have an arrangement with them to pay 100.00 a month. When I got the notice of a judgment in the mail in Aug 09, my husband who I gave the authority to speak in my behalf to these people told me that he called them and talked to Brandon???? who happens to be the collection troll and told my husband that if we could pay a little bit more than we were paying monthly the judgment would go away and we could just pay the 185.00 a month.. Well, we my husband agreed to pay 185.00 and he and Brandon worked this out on the phone. In Jan 2010 I was sued in court for for more than $8000 B/C I did not show up in court not only that they garnished my bank accounts or placed a levy on the accounts and took all our money which was $2000. I am the only one working and her my husband is in bankruptcy. I received a letter in the mail asking me to justify why they should not levy my account so I answered that and was sent a court date, so I took off work and when I got to court I was there for 3 hrs. When it came to my turn at 10:00 am the lawyer for WW&R was not there the judge said lets give them more time and when I finally got in front of the judge again at 11:45 and he asked me if I sent an certified copy of the court date that we received from the court in the mail to the other party. I stated no your honor I was not aware I had to sent a CERTIFIED notice to the other party even though your court sent me a court date. He said oh yes, you were supposed to do that so this hearing has to be rescheduled I asked where it stated that on the notice I received he said I am sure it says it in the directions and maybe you overlooked it. I said no your honor it doesn't. HELP
