Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah

My husband co signed on a car with his ex wife several years ago. The car was given to her in the divorce but she never re financed in her name and it was repossesed. There is a collection that is on my husbands credit for $1200 that keeps showing up every month as a new account. They filed a judgement on her alone but now they wont let him just pay the $1200 to clear his name but the full $3400 they say needs to be paid even though he is not on the judgement. Legally can they hold him to the total even though he is not on the judgement. We are trying to just pay the $1200 and they wont let us.

He cosigned - he is liable for the full debt.
