False accounts, otherwise called "Mixed Files", get put on to a person's credit report due to the search engine algorithm that is used by the credit bureaus to ensure everything belonging to that person is in the credit report. The requirement for something to be connected with your name and file are set very low.
You need to send a dispute letter to the bureaus explaining that this is not your account and you want it removed. Unfortunately, you may need to send more letters since the bureaus are not really anxious to remove this from their files and the creditor or collection companies just want it reporting and conduct a poor investigation, (if they truly investigate it at all). This is why a good credit repair company can be more effective in getting things removed. As a credit repair company we go after them very aggressively, and, if necessary, turn the matter over to attorneys specializing in this part of the law.

Does closing credit cards after you have paid them off go against your credit?
I've read that closing accounts after they've been paid off can actually hurt your credit score. Among the factors considered in calculating your credit score is the length of the credit history you have, so a history of accounts that have been paid on time is better than a recent history of fewer accounts.

How can you get your name off the credit report if your ex let the joint credit card get charged off and the truck was repossessed?
The divorce is of no consequence. If your spouse and their ex opened joint accounts while they were married, they are jointly liable for those accounts and both credit reports will reflect the history. A divorce never supercedes any other contract. You mentioned that the accounts were "both in other spouses name". If that were true, the accounts would not be on your spouse's credit report in the first place.
