If he was ordered to get your name off of his truck loan, then you would need to go back to the court that finalized your divorce and file a motion to enforce that provision. Before you file the enforcement action, you may want to consider having your family law attorney send a demand letter first with a note that he could be liable for attorneys fees associated with the enforcement. Sometimes, just the threat of more attorneys fees will be sufficient motivation for him to resolve the loan. If this doesn't work, then you will have to go forward with the enforcement action to get relief.
