Paying off a judgment--questions!

I called the collection agency/attorney and agreed to pay the full amount. They wanted me to pay in money order, but that's not an option right now. My current overseas location will not allow wire transfers from person to company, only person to person. The collection agency agreed to let me pay by money order. They told me upon receiving the payment, they will move the account to the paid department and will no longer pursue the account or continue to levy the bank. If I had sent the money via western union, they would provide legal paperwork to release the garnishment on the current bank account.
My question is...how should I go about this exactly? It seems a bit off...they're still getting their money, but why the different processing? Also, it hasn't shown up on my credit report yet, do I have to request they remove the judgment and debt? can I ask them to do that?

I agree with the attorneys though. Even if the court agrees to
I agree with the attorneys though. Even if the court agrees to vacate the judgment, a new trial date will be set. I DO owe them the money. I just want to pay them and be done with. However, I want it done properly so I can cover myself and not have to worry about it later.
