Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

My girlfriend was married before and she had a car loan with the ex husband. She has not seen him in 6 years and they are divorced. He took the vehicle. She got a letter from an attorney that she owes $2000 for this unpaid loan. They cannot track him down. What should she do before getting her wages ganished?

She might dispute the claim, obtain verification, find out when it was last paid for statute of limitation purposes.

If the divorce settlement allocated the obligation to the ex-, then she might talk with a family law attorney about enforcing the settlement agreement.
