I havent heard from debt collector in 13 years can they still pursue a credit card debt my x husband was ordered to pay those in our divorce?
Send a copy of the judgment agreement of the divorce showing that the husband agreed in a court of law to pay that debt. Send the copy to the debt collector in writing. Request ALL contact with you be via in writing. Tell them that unless you hear from them within 30 days of the date of the letter you send, you will consider the matter closed.
If they send you addiitonal letters and/or call, remain polite at all times and indicate that you will not verbalize any discussion and all discussions MUST be in writing. Ask them to send you proof of attempt to collect from your x husband. Failure to send the exact same requests to him and you can be considered discrimination since they are only going after the female in the supposed matter even AFTER you showed legal court ordered proof that HE is the debt holder. Be POLITE but FIRM and keep ALL letters and send only copies of your legal challenges to their requests.
If they will not stop, then ask for ALL documentation for ALL supposed debt HE owes and you want it itemized as per allowed by law in your state. Indicate that you also are officially asking to know their license to act as a debt collector for the state the collector company is residing. Ask for your rights as a supposed debt owner. Tell them that "Failure to provide any and all of this material may result in complaints filed with the Attorney General's Office in the state of YOUR STATE HERE and also with the Federal Trade Commission."
Good luck.

He should be ordered to pay the debts as part of the divorce settlement and close any accounts that were opened using your social security number.

How will the credit card debt be divided between the husband and wife during a divorce when the debt is only in the wife's name?
It is up to the judge to determine who is responsible for repaying the debt owed on that credit card account.

If he misses payments, then her credit score will suffer.
