My house has sold, I just found out

In 1991 my wife and her exhusband bought a mobile home. In 1993 they divorced. He kept up with payments as required, then in may of this year our income tax return was taken by Pioneer Credit Recovery. They will not give us any information only that my wife owes them 18000 dollars on a trailer that sold new for 21000 in 1991. They refuse to go after him for the payment because he has bad credit even though he makes twice as much money as my wife. I have offered to by the trailer or pay off the original loan but they refuse to discuss it and will not assist us in any way. We have excellent credit, or did until the idiot stopped making payments. No one can tell me anything. The only thing I know to do is sell my motorcycle, four wheeler and camper to pay off the loan, fees, penalties, on a trailer she hasn't lived in for over 15 years. I don't understand how I can pay 18000 dollars and have nothing to show for but they say I won't even get the trailer.

I went through the same situation whereas I was not living in the home and now ex spouse would not pay mortgage payments along with other bills. I paid the mortgage payments so that my credit would not be ruined and to prevent foreclosure since there was alot of equity in the home. At this time, I am refinancing with countrywide and pulling out equity to buy him out and the home will be solely in my name.
