Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

We live in southern California. My husband was served summons on credit card that we stopped paying in 2006/2007, after my husband lost his job. My husband has been off work since, due to disability, and is fight social security, and work comp case. My husband made stipulated agreement for $50 monthly payments by 1st of month. First payment made timely, but 2nd at end of that month. Person at company said he was changing due date to end of month, and my husband had made payments regularly since. The company filed judgement reflecting stipulation 12/23/13. On 1/3/12 they filed judgement, and on 1/19/12 an abstract judgement. Just Friday, they levied joint bank accounts, of which all monies are from my disability checks. They have left us without a penny to live on. Is this legal? Can they levy account that is joint, even though judgement names just my husband? Additionally, abstract reflects $9700, but levy is for only $4500, per my bank. We were served nothing, what does this mean? Please help me understand what is going on, and how we should proceed.

You can file to get the money back that was taken, due to that it was from disability and other bases.
