Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Pennsylvania

Is this legal?

My husband broke his lease in November of 2004. The landlord took him to court for payment of the remainder of the lease. The judge found in her favor the amount of $2,053.75. On October 14th of 2005, I mailed a check for $20, stating that we would be making payments each month as we could afford. On October 31st, we recieved a letter from a law firm, saying that the account was reffered to them for an amount of 2,743.52. My husband called them and they informed him that his landlord was not willing to accept partial payments. After speaking with several people, I wrote the attorney a letter stating that the amount we owe is 2,053.75 (minus the $20 check), and that we would be making payments as we could afford. I also told them that any further contact should be delivered in writing. We did not hear from them again, until recently. Since that letter I have paid another $150. Our current balance due is $1883.75. Out of the money that I have sent, only $75 has been cashed. Today we recieved a letter from the attorney with a ''Writ of Execution''. The letter says that they can sell our property and garnish my husbands wages. My question is since we have been making payments, are they allowed to do this?
