The title and the loan are separate legal items. The title gives someone the legal right of ownership, but the loan is an obligation to pay. If you were on the loan, then the bank can still seek action against you. Your husband, became obligated to pay the loan when he signed the agreement with you, and has breached that agreement hence you now have the right to take legal action against him to pay the defaulted loan but it does not protect you from the bank.
