Legal Question in Consumer Law in Ohio

Bankruptcy, Divorce, Levy

If a couple files bankruptcy, gets a divorce, each party retains a vehicle, then he turns his car back, the loan co. sells the car at auction,which leaves one car still financed which belongs to the ex-wife who had agreed to pay the loan, but doesn't since it isn't in her name. How can the loan co. put a levy on bank accounts of the husband 5 yrs later and demand payment in full including continuous interest ?
