More details to this question:
He is only one on the deed. He also receives a pension which began previously to marriage. Can the pension be touched also? He has bank accounts in his name only. Can they be touched by wife's creditors?
1 ANSWER
If the debt was in her name alone and pre-marriage , I do not see any right a creditor would have in going after husband's assets. They may call him and pressure him to pay for her. Get an attorney to write to them to end the calls or settle the matter.
